And I agree completely...but for sequels following in the footsteps of legendary predecessors, I do feel that some sort of quality standard needs to be maintained.

Soundtrack rocks! As expected of course.

The reason I ask is because it doesn't seem the white lightcycle toy is really moving off the store shelves. The new black ones look awesome in the trailers, but I don't feel they translate as well into toys.

I LOVE the white one. The cross between the old and new is epic. I don't know why more people aren't buying one. Especially some of the original fan base.

It's Keven Flynn's personal lightcycle for crying out loud. Not to mention it is the only "persistent" lightcycle on the grid. Meaning, it doesn't rez up from a baton. Light runners are the same way.

Not in the trailers no.

Yes, you do get to see Flynn's 'in-between Tron & Tron: Legacy'-style Lightcycle in action, but only briefly, and...

[Show spoiler]

Picked up my tickets for the midnight show tonight, can't wait for next Thursday!

Aerodude73 · 12-09-2010, 05:03 AM

I'll be getting my IMAX tickets either Friday or Monday (3D of course!)

Can't wait to see this; I've been hearing/reading good early reports on "previews" shown to audiences.

Saints9 · 12-09-2010, 05:04 AM

Cant wait!

Tron Daft Punk edition headphones. Sexy. Unfortunately, they're from Monster.

Not to mention they really stand out, making it more likely that someone else would try to steal them from you.

MisterPilgrim · 12-13-2010, 08:24 PM

Tron Legacy is looking more and more like a love letter to the original film. Even the reviews seem to mirror the first movie! LOL. That makes me even more excited to see it!

I'd link you guys/girls Devin Faraci's scathing review, but when scrolling all the way to the end for a score (and not finding one, hurm), the last line had a major plot spoiler that made me so mad. Not at the movie, but at Devin for being such a douche and throwing it on there. So, I assume the whole review is a gigantic spoiler.

The last paragraph of Devin's review starts off with "*spoiler" so I don't think it is fair for you to complain about reading it when it is clearly labeled spoiler.

Since I scrolled to the bottom, I actually didn't read the part where he said "Spoiler", as it was cut off by the border. So, I wasn't aware of that. My bad.

The headphones are cool, but white would be a pain to maintain and I don't really want some Daft Punk headphones. If they make black/orange ones w/o the Daft Punk logo, I'd write a letter to Santa, haha

The Daft Punk variant is probably just a limited edition, hence the $350

price tag.

They have these black headphones and earphones as well: http://www.monstercable.com/tron/default.asp

I got the 2-disc limited edition soundtrack in today. Sweeeeeeeet!

EvilGamerX · 12-14-2010, 02:02 AM

I saw the film today and I really enjoyed it.

If you liked the original, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

I can't wait to see it again Friday!

What's the PS3 slim thing?

Think it's a USB extension/router for multi peripherals, although I've never hooked up gadgets to mine.

Walts Ghost · 12-14-2010, 08:17 AM

Did anyone go to any of those free screenings tonight? Just curious if anyone on the boards might have gone and checked it out

EvilGamerX · 12-14-2010, 12:10 PM

Yea, I did.

They gave out Flynn Lives pins to everyone.

A lot of people I saw said they weren't going to try because they thought they would arrive to something already filled up. Truth was, there was still room in the theater.

I went to the New York one.
