Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races onto 4K Blu-ray on April 15 with three different editions, including a pair of Limited Edition Steelbooks. The Amazon-exclusive Shadow the Hedgehog Steelbook has been sold out for weeks, but Amazon just restocked preorders for $45. The Sonic the Hedgehog Steelbook is available at multiple retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, for the same price.

If you want to complete your Sonic movie steelbook collection, the Sonic 2-Movie Steelbook Collection as well as standalone 4K Steelbook Editions of the first two films are available to order at Amazon. For the past couple months, 4K editions of the Sonic movies were sold out and unavailable to order. While multiple of these are still sold out, Amazon is now letting customers place orders.

Complete your Sonic the Hedgehog Steelbook Collection:

• Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Movie Steelbook Collection (4K) -- $48
• Sonic the Hedgehog Bonus Stage Steelbook Edition (4K) -- $30.46
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Steelbook Edition (4K) -- $29

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)

$45 | Releases April 15

Sonic the Hedgehog 3's first Limited Edition Steelbook features the Blue Blur doing what he does best. This edition comes with 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of Sonic 3. You also get a bunch of bonus featurettes.

Preorders for the Sonic variant of the Limited Edition Steelbook are available at Amazon and Walmart for $45.

Amazon and Walmart both offer preorder price guarantees. You won't be charged until your order ships, and you will only pay the lowest price offered between the time you preorder and release.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition Shadow Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)

$45 | Releases April 15, Amazon Exclusive

Sonic 3's Limited Edition Steelbook featuring Shadow is exclusive to Amazon and available to preorder for $45. Unsurprisingly, this edition has been harder to find in stock than the Sonic variant. Amazon sold out of its first batch of preorders fast when preorders opened in January. The Shadow Steelbook was unavailable for nearly all of February, so the March restock might not remain in stock for long.

The Shadow variant complements the Sonic edition by offering the same art design, just with red streaks instead of blue.

Like the Sonic variant, the Shadow version costs $45 and comes with 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of Sonic 3. You'll also get the same bonus features. The only difference between the two releases is the steelbook.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Standard Edition (4K Blu-ray)

$36 | Releases April 15

If you don't have any interest in steelbook cases, the 4K release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is up for preorder for $36 at Amazon and Walmart. Amazon preorders for the standard 4K edition should reopen soon.

Preorders for the DVD release are available for $21 at Amazon. Sonic 3 won't receive a standalone 1080p Blu-ray edition, at least not at launch. As such, even if you don't have a 4K media player, you'll still need to get the 4K edition to watch Sonic 3 on standard Blu-ray.

Alternatively, you can rent or buy Sonic 3 from Prime Video or stream it on Paramount+.
