Fallout: Season 1 released on 4K Blu-ray a few days ago, but you can already get a nice deal at Amazon. Normally $40, Season 1’s 4K release is up for grabs for only $30, which is the same price as the 1080p Blu-ray version. To be clear, this 4K deal is for the standard edition with a plastic case, not the Limited Edition Steelbook. The latter sold out shortly after preorders opened in April and briefly returned around launch last week for $43. And unlike some steelbook editions, it’s truly limited edition, according to Amazon, and was only “available while supplies last.”

- Blu-ray — $30
- DVD — $25
With limited-edition Blu-rays, there’s always the chance it receives a reprint down the line, but the way Amazon handled preorders for the standard 4K edition makes it seem like supplies could indeed be gone for good. Amazon waited until mid-May, after the the Steelbook sold out, before listing the standard edition for the same price ($40). The absence of a price difference between the two suggests the steelbook case was essentially an early preorder bonus. Or maybe it will be restocked tomorrow–no one can really say for sure.
In any case, the $10 discount on the standard edition is a nice consolation for those who weren’t able to secure the one with fancier packaging and art cards at launch (July 8). The actual on-disc content is the same for each version.
