Alternate Disc-Tractions: TRON Legacy 2-Movie Collection on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Download

Thank you. Thank you all for helping me enjoy TRON: Legacy.

The combination of my almost life-long anticipation of a TRON sequel, amazing visuals and the seemingly universal disappointment of TRON: Legacy theatrical release gelled into rather unexpected enjoyment of TRON: Legacy on home video.

Target’s April 3 – 9, 2011 ad has Tron and game deals

If you’re planning to do some shopping this forthcoming week, then there’s two reasons to stop by Target. If you’ve got some serious Tron obsession, then odds are you’ll be compelled to visit the store and take advantage of the Tron Legacy and Tron deal. Gamers with a lot of cash to burn, who perhaps didn’t cave and get the 3DS at launch, will find themselves lured in by a buy two, get one free sale event on select games and accessories. Both promotions are detailed in the April 3 – 9, 2011 ad.

Since Gamertell is a gaming site, we’ll start with the buy two, get one free promotion…

Is Disney afraid that original Tron will taint its Legacy?

The highly anticipated Tron: Legacy is coming out this Friday (December 17, 2010), and the marketing hype by Disney has been incredible. For the last three years we’ve heard nothing but Tron: Legacy screamed from the rooftops of every corner in the Mouse House. You can buy posters, calendars, and of course, the tie-in game, Tron: Evolution, which was released on December 7, 2010. Hell, they’re even planning to add a Tron: Legacy ride at various Disney theme parks. With all this marketing, one could safely assume that Disney would equally hype the original, to help promote its sequel. Oddly, they’ve decided to take the opposite route.
