Once upon a time, streaming services were a novel idea, allowing you to watch shows and movies on any device without the need for a physical media library. But in my household, it’s become a double-edged sword: Every service has something different, and nearly all of them have upped their prices and included ads. Black Friday is here and bringing offers on just about everything. If you’re like me and want to diversify your media portfolio, you’ll want to take advantage of Amazon’s get three for the price of two offer on over 1,000 Blu-rays, DVDs and 4K discs.
The deal is pretty simple. Just head over to the promotion page, add three eligible movies to your cart and the lowest-priced item is automatically free at checkout. Whether you’re already a physical media collector or someone looking to escape the infinite streaming services, this is your chance to own the movies you actually want to watch.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free and save you money.
There’s an amazing selection, too. Keep it creepy with new hits like Nosferatu and The Mummy Trilogy. Or treat someone (or yourself) to the Blu-ray boxed set of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. If you happen to be buying for the president, note that the Rush Hour trilogy is on sale.
If you’ve got kids, you already know the value of an ad-free movie that can be played on repeat. Enjoy movies like Hook, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Moana 2.
And the great news is this sale extends to other physical media, too: think vinyl and books. When you browse the online promotion page, you’ll find great gift ideas like Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, the double album of Wicked on vinyl or Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon. And there are also books, including boxed sets, kids’ books and bestsellers. All of these fall into the “buy three for the price of two” offer.
Naturally, you may be in the market to upgrade your entertainment setup at home. We’ve got the best Black Friday deals on TVs and soundbars, too.

Why this deal matters
Many of us have more than one streaming service, and it can get spendy. Investing in an entertainment library for those times when you want to decompress and go offline but still consume media should not cost you a fortune. An offer like this makes it a great time to stock up on your favorites and shop for some gifts, too.
