If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
UPDATE: This promotion ends Monday, April 30 at midnight.
If you're lucky enough to have a 4K TV, you probably know streaming in 4K can sometimes be a dicey proposition. For now, the best way to truly make the most of your crazy new TV is via 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. The problem? They're expensive. Like $30 for just Mad Max: Fury Road expensive. Amazon seems to agree, and is running a very solid and very tempting special sale on UHD 4K Blu-rays: buy any 3 for $49.99, with an extensive list to choose from. That's $16.66 a piece for those that have trouble with math, which represents the cheapest price many of these 4K UHD Blu-rays have hit yet.
We're not going to tell you how to live your life. If you want to pick up Battleship, Central Intelligence, and The Legend of Tarzan, you do you. But below we've selected some very strong three-packs worth considering. One final note - consider consulting a website like http://realorfake4k.com first - they'll fill you in on whether the film was truly shot in native 4k or upscaled from 2k or an even lower resolution.
If you don't have a 4K TV or a device to play them with, we've updated this list with a couple options for you to try.
Super Cheap TV Option:
Sceptre 55-inch 4K TV for $249
This isn't an HDR set, but it does have some impressive features beyond its rock-bottom price. For one, it has a feature that links your smart phone or tablet so you can use your apps on the TV itself. For another, it has 4 HDMI ports, which is enough for each of the modern consoles and then a Super NES Classic. It's entirely up to you.
Completely Ridiculous TV Option:
Samsung 75-inch Smart 4K HDR TV
Yes, this is an expensive and enormous TV set, but it's actually marked down a ton from its original price, so there's that. This set is stacked, with 4 HDMI ports, 3 USB, 120hz refresh rate so you can plug in your equally ridiculous 1080Ti PC SLI PC into it, and a remote control. Wow. Remotely controlled television. What an age.
4K Blu-ray Players
This is not only a great 4K Blu-ray player, it's also just a great console, too. Maybe the best console out there right now. Definitely consider grabbing one of these for your 4K movie watching needs.
Kind of weird how the Xbox One plays 4K Blu-ray, but it's another solid choice for your 4K Blu-ray needs.
Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray Player
Sony invented the Blu-ray standard and they also make super solid 4K Blu-ray players, like this UBP-X700. You can scoop this one up on Amazon for less than $200 and your eyeballs will thank you.
(Almost) Every Harry Potter Movie
With the exception of the first movie, every Harry Potter film is part of this promotion. You can revisit the wizarding world in ultra high definition with HDR support. It's a shame the original isn't part of the promotion, because you could get all of them plus Fantastic Beasts in 4K for $150. That's a nice, round number.
------------------------
Man did I enjoy this movie. It's really well done, and it's nice to see Spider-Man can play nice with the rest of the MCU. If you owned this previously and want to upgrade to 4K, that makes it a Spider-Man Homecoming homecoming.
Here are some other comic book movies you pick up as part of this deal:
------------------------
How does busting make you feel? If busting makes you feel good, you are in for a real treat. The 1984 original is one of the finest comedies known to humanity, and the sequel and 2016 reboot are decent enough.
------------------------
Christoper Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy
Speaking of comic book movies, far as DC movies go, these are arguably the cream of the crop. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight is one of the most memorable in comic book movie history. Get the entire trilogy for one low price.
------------------------
Since there isn't a John Wick 3... yet... you'll have to add an extra movie to take advantage of this deal if you're looking to fill out your 4K John Wick collection. We've added some suggestions to help round things out.
------------------------
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Only two of the new Planet of the Apes films are part of this deal, so you'll need to supplement a third movie to cash in on the savings.
------------------------
Some classic and recent-classics are now available in glorious Ultra HD, including Goodfellas, which may be the greatest movie ever made. So mix and match and bathe your eyeballs in all those lines of resolution as Joe Pesci kicks the snot out of Billy Batts in what would ultimately become his downfall.
This promotion isn't static - more movies are being added at a regular clip. Some more notable movies you might want to consider building your own bundle with:
