Mark your calendars, Sonic fans! April 15th, 2025 is going to be a big day, since Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be zooming onto shelves in not just one, but two gorgeous Steelbook 4K Ultra HD editions at a pretty affordable price!
There are two options available here:

Both come as 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray combo packs, so you’re getting the best of both worlds: ultra-crisp visuals and a physical backup that’ll last.
