If you aren't familiar with how limited-edition steelbook releases usually work, it's worth noting that it comes with three versions of the film. You get two discs, the 4K UHD version and the Blu-ray version, as well as a digital copy of the movie you can download. This may seem like overkill, but if your main reason for buying the collector's edition is to keep it on your shelf, then the digital version is a great way to avoid having to actually take it off your shelf. The physical copies ensure you'll always have access to the movie, but getting the downloadable version separately will help you integrate it seamlessly into any existing streaming setup.
Bonus Features
In addition to the steelbook case and extra disc, the 25th anniversary edition of this movie also includes bonus features. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll get in the bonus features included:
- 25 Years Later: The Gift of the Grinch
- Feature commentary with director Ron Howard
- Deleted scenes outtakes
- Who school
- Makeup application and design Seussian set decoration
- Visual effects for Faith Hill's "Where Are You Christmas" music video
What Is Amazon's Preorder Price Guarantee?
If you've never actually preordered anything from Amazon before, it's worth noting that if you purchase this steelbook at Amazon, it includes a preorder price guarantee. According to Amazon's own help page, this means that if the price decreases between now and when the item ships, you'll pay the lowest price.
This is one of the reasons Amazon is overall one of the best places to 4K and Blu-ray movies before they actually release. Many popular movie preorders will actually receive discounts before their release date, so having a guarantee you'll still get those even if you lock in your preorder now is hard to pass up.
