Physical editions of Alien: Romulus launched today, December 3. There are four editions to choose from, including a Limited-Edition 4K Blu-ray with a steelbook case for $55. If you want that edition, you probably don’t want to wait long to order. Walmart has stock ready to ship right now, but Amazon estimates orders placed today won’t arrive for up to two months. Amazon also happens to be sold out of the non-steelbook 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVD. Once again, all four are available at Walmart and available to ship now.
If you don’t care about steelbook cases, the best value is the 4K Blu-ray for $30 at Walmart. You’re saving $25 compared to the Limited Edition Steelbook.
