Rejoice user! Devin won’t be keeling over from auto-erotic asphyxiation after all. The TRON controllers that he saw at E3 and threatened to hold his breath over? Well, they are going to be for sale. To be honest, I haven’t considered replacing my stock Xbox 360 controllers until this point, but now I’m afraid I have no choice. → Read More
Our wee friend Peter Ha got to play with some new Tron gear including the slowest, quietest light bike you’ll ever have the chance to see. Here it is in all its poky glory. → Read More
Now, I don’t want to pretend I’m the biggest TRON fan ever. I know that guy, and I’m not jealous. But even if I’d never heard of TRON or TR2N, I’d be leaving dirty finger-marks all over these display-cases just like everybody else. Because these are some sexy-ass controllers. → Read More
Do you sleep with a full-sized body pillow shaped like Jeff Bridges? Do you have disc wheels on your bike? Do you dream of electric sheep? You might want this shirt. → Read More
Tron Legacy comes out right before Christmas this year, but it’s probably best if you see the first movie before the sequel. This trailer should get you in the mood. It did it for me. Oh, and FYI, Tron is supposed to be released on Blu-ray in November, but there quality high-def digital copies lurking around torrent sites and usernets thanks to HDNet broadcasting the movie in high-def. → Read More
Tron Legacy is nerds wet dream come true. The movie will hopefully invoke the same sort of futuristic imagination as the original. You’ve watched the trailer, right? Well, anyway, to gear up for the premiere, Disney has skin a couple of its monorails to look like the light cycles. Kind of meta future meets future moment, eh? → Read More
I don’t know how I missed this a few years ago but did you know there was a fully-featured Last Starfighter videogame made for a documentary on the film. With all this talk of Tron I wanted to check out the other major CG-infused release from my childhood and after watching it (Don’t. You will be disappointed. It’s not as good as you remember it.) I found this site from RogueSynapse. It doesn’t appear to work under Win7, however. → Read More
We’ve shown you the new Tron trailer 48 hours ago in bootleg quality, but you can forget that one now and rather watch this high-quality version. Judging from these 2.30 minutes, we’re in for something cool. → Read More
DWalk sent us in a tip about a new trailer for Tron. It’s been pretty hard to track down but I think we caught it in the wild. It’s nigh on unwatchable, but any artifact from a potentially horrible (but also potentially great (see Transformers v. Dark Knight)) movie that will destroy our childhood memories is a valuable one, right? → Read More
Here you are, men: Tron Legacy. In trailer form. → Read More
A sequel for cult movie Tron was rumored to be in preparation for years now, and today Walt Disney Pictures has finally revealed a few tidbits of information about the reboot of the “virtual reality film”. It will simply be called Tron (and not Tron 2, Tron 2.0 or “Tr2n”) and we’ll be able to see some footage very soon.
Disney said they will show a 3D clip from the movie during the Comic-Con in San Diego on July 23. The poster is from the first movie, which was made back in 1982 (and has aged pretty well). → Read More
So apparently there’s going to be a sequel to Tron, and it’s going to be called TR2N. Good news, right? Sure, okay. But even better news—Daft Punk will compose the soundtrack. → Read More
I could have done without the ‘behind the scenes’ type photos of Jay Maynard and his junk, but his impression of everyone’s initial reaction to his costume makes up for it. What a nerd. The description from the YouTube page is as follows: Without the networks and communities created by the PC, the world might never have even heard of the “Tron Guy” or internet phenomenons just like him. → Read More
This is a fantastic story. You remember how in Tron, the players force a computer light cycle into a wall, then escape through the hole to get at the rest of the system? Well, this guy recreated that event inadvertently with his own IIGS version of Tron. I don’t know if any of you will find this funny, but I can’t spoil the surprise. This is a seriously good story. → Read More

I enjoyed Be Kind Rewind for the most part but thought the editing was a little messy, making for a sloppy ending. But by far the best part was the “sweded” films. I could watch a movie of nothing but films sweded by Mos Def and Jack Black and be a happy, happy boy. Take, for example, this amazingly well pulled off sweded version of the lightcycle scene in Tron. The executed one of the best scenes of the best movies ever and it’s flawless. It’s almost too good, really. via → Read More
[photopress:35a1_1.JPG,full,center] Greetings, programs! Tron 2.0 is on the way, this much is fact, and in doing research about a movie she’s never seen (Tron, the original) my friend Kira Yahtzee came across this group of ten Tron action figures from the 80s, complete with zip-powered Tron cycle for auction on eBay, and they’re totally affordable. Happy bidding, and you’re welcome. 10 VINTAGE 1981 TOMY TRON FIGURES, CAR, PULL CORDS [eBay] → Read More
It’s been about 10 months since we first told you that “Tron” would be coming to XBLA and I completely forgot about it as I’m sure most of you have done. Today, Disney announced that Discs of Tron will be available on the 13th of this month. Details of the game can be found here. The forum is now up and running as well. Don’t forget to hit the former link for a sweet ass flash Tron-like game. It is Friday and I know you guys are going to get bored. Press Release → Read More
