The 2015 update to Lockman's Amplified Bible published by Zondervan is $3.99. I didn't realize until today that it's the new one and the sale is listed with others that end today (Jan. 4).

The blurb makes it sound like it's a minor update, but I find both the underlying translation and presentation style to be quite a bit different than the 1987 edition. For example, here's Genesis 1:14:

1987:

2015:
Then God said, “Let there be light-bearers (sun, moon, stars) in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be useful for signs (tokens) [of God’s provident care], and for marking seasons, days, and years;
