The Tron: Legacy Limited Edition Five-Disc Combo Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy + Tron: The Original Classic Special Edition Blu-ray in super-special "Identity Disc" collectible packaging?

Yes.

 

..Al

Stupid Apple.

Yes.

 

..Al

Or rather...

 

"Yes."

It always bothered me that the Tron bit has three states. Technically, it's a trit..

The third state is merely indecisiveness.

bool bit=indecisiveness;

Nope, won't compile.

Indecisiveness rarely does.

it's the Schrödinger state

Yes.

Yep here as well - it'll go great next to my Blade Runner Briefcase

it's the Schrödinger state

Then it's not a trit, it's one of these

I have to say that I haven't used the extra DVD or digital copy of any Blu-Ray/DVD I have. I'm more likely to use the DVD copy of a Blu-Ray. I'm tech-savvy enough to rip the DVD if I have that desire.

bool bit=indecisiveness;

Nope, won't compile.

That's because you've got it wrong; it's actually:

enum Bool 
{ 
   True, 
   False, 
   FileNotFound 
};

Speaking of the original Tron... someone put together a really nice trailer for it, with an updated feel:

That was nicely done.

 

Here's a light cycle you can make your own for a mere $55K

I bet that handles very well.

I'd earlier posted a video of one of the builders test riding it. Or trying to. He looked like a little kid trying to stay up on a bicycle for the first time.

 

I admire the attempt though.

Now how did I miss this trailer for Tron: Legacy? It wasn't on Disney's website...

Some reviews are hitting the 'net...

 

Big Picture Big Sound

 

BluRay.com

 

I still haven't decided if I want to spend the extra $20 to get the glowing plastic disc or not. I'm leaning towards "not".

And a review of the Blu-ray of the original Tron.

More reviews:

 

High-Def Digest

 

StarPulse (including a few interviews)

 

Blu-rayDefinition

 

cg channel

 

Inside the Magic

 

Collider

 

So... the conclusion of all of these reviews?

 

Simple - I need to set myself up a Blu-ray review website, so studios will send me early/complimentary copies of their movies.

Happened by Best Buy this evening. The front windows of the building are covered with a giant ad for Tron Legacy, and there are cardboard displays throughout the store.

 

The Tron (original) Blu-Ray discs were sold out, and only a couple of the DVDs remained. None of the two-movie sets were left either, but there were still a lot of the two-disc and four-disc combo packs for Tron Legacy.

 

I didn't buy any of them. I'm still waffling between getting the five-disc two-movie set (non-collector's edition), or just the two Blu-Ray+DVD movies separately (which is cheaper, and I couldn't care less about the 3D version). But the lenticular cover of the five-disc set is appealing. Because, of course, I'll look at that so often when it's sitting spine-side-out on my shelf.

 

I won't be getting the plastic-identity-disc version. The disc itself is only marginally larger than a DVD, and all reviews so far point out that the discs are stacked (which I hate) and hard to remove (which I hate even more). If I'm going to get a Tron disc thing, I'll just buy the toy.

 

An interesting thing to note - in the DVD/Blu-Ray sections they were selling a Flynn's Arcade t-shirt (w/glow-in-the-dark-logo) that was shrink-wrapped to the size and shape of a DVD case. I didn't get one. One size does not fit all.

And the winner is...

 

The two-disc Blu-Ray+DVD Tron: Legacy combo, plus the two-disc Blu-Ray+DVD Tron: The Original Classic combo.

 

$31.98 total. Way cheaper than any two-movie combo, plus I get the DVD of the original Tron (which you can't get in any of the two-movie combos), and I don't get stuck with a stupid 3D Blu-Ray disc I'll never use.

 

The downside? Well, I don't get a digital copy of Tron: Legacy. Big whoop. I've yet to use any of the digital copies of movies I already own, and I can always rip the DVD if I want to watch the movie on my iPhone (which frankly, I don't). Maybe... maybe if I owned an iPad and did a lot of traveling with it, I'd feel different. But I don't, I don't, and so I don't. So there.

 

(Besides, if I was desperate enough, there's always iTunes for that.)

 

 

As a weird aside... the recent forum upgrade (besides wreaking formatting havoc in my blog entries and comments), has also apparently taken it upon itself to change my Amazon links.

 

To wit - the links to those two items in the main entry used to read:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004K4IZ3G/

and...

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KPLVW2/

...respectively (I always strip out non-essential info from Amazon links).

 

But now, they read:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K4IZ3G?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004K4IZ3G

and...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KPLVW2?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004KPLVW2

I don't know what's going on here... but I don't like it. Not one bit.
