Get A Sony 4K Blu-Ray Player For Only $158 At Amazon And Walmart
The Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player has built-in support for streaming services, too
Amazon launched this deal to match Walmart's $159 price, which is part of the retailer's early Black Friday sale. Walmart also has the UBP-X700M for $158, which is the same model, except it comes with an HDMI cord. The X700M is exclusive to Walmart. You can also save on Panasonic 4K Blu-ray players, including the UB154P-K, a well-reviewed budget option that released last year.

Sony Blu-ray players have a solid reputation, and the X700 model on sale offers a number of features found in some of Sony's high-end line of Blu-ray players. While it is an older model, it's still a versatile option in 2024. It includes two HDMI ports, a USB connection, and a coaxial digital port. If you have a DVD collection, you can also use an optional upscaling tool to make them look sharper, although they can look a bit rough around the jagged edges depending on the film (and your TV).
Blu-ray players are certainly niche tech products these days, but they can be worth the investment. If your favorite movie or TV show is available on 4K Blu-ray, there's a good chance this version offers the best experience from both a visual and audio perspective, even if it's also available to stream in 4K. This is because 4K discs can offer higher bitrates, while streaming services aim for smaller file sizes, which ultimately impacts video and audio quality.
That said, everyone uses streaming services these days, and the UBP-X700 is a smart Blu-ray player with access to all of the popular streaming apps. The nice thing about this if you're looking to have a dedicated Blu-ray player in the house, this is a much more affordable option when compared to something like a PS5 Slim or Xbox Series X, as those game consoles regularly cost $500. It's worth noting the Xbox Series X is discounted to $448 in Walmart's early Black Friday sale, which runs until November 17.
If you're looking to grab some Blu-rays as well, you're in luck as there are quite a few specials on right now. Fans of classic '90s action can lock in a preorder for a brand-new 4K remaster of Demolition Man that comes loaded with extra content, and for a library of films right out of the box, Criterion is releasing a 40-film box set dubbed CC40 on November 19. The collection is one of many Criterion Collection films on sale for 50% off at Amazon right now.
On the animated side, you can also grab the first season of Arcane, a critically acclaimed show set in the League of Legends universe.
