Tron and Tron: Legacy pre-orders are up on Amazon. They also have an instant coupon for select titles located on the pages for each item: $5 off the 3D Combo, 2-Movie Combo and Limited Edition packs, and $8 off if you buy the 2D Legacy and Tron releases together.

The 2-movie collection ends up being $50.99 after coupon. Unfortunately, since the Tron Classic release says it has both a blu-ray and dvd, and the 2-movie collection only has 1 more disc than the Legacy 3D release, I'm guessing collection buyers don't get the extra dvd. Buying the 3D release with coupon and the Tron release together ends up costing $57, so if you pay 7 bucks more you get a dvd of Tron and separate cases. I decided to pre-order all 3 and just make cancellations of what I don't want as we get closer to release. The coupons are active until February 10th.

Not really anywhere else to put this:

Got Monsters on Bluray today, and it was surprisingly good. The mixed reviews had me worried, but Ebert pretty much never steers me wrong.

It's also pretty cheap $16.99 at Best Buy.

Actually, I think it is a new transfer from a 35mm print, but they filtered the hell out of it. Without seeing the disc in motion, I don't see the waxiness of the usual DVNR fare, but rather the DVD-style noise filtering. It would be interesting to see what the raw transfer looked like... probably a lot of dirt and scratches, but decent sharpness and detail.

It's definitely not an upscale of the MGM DVD, nor an upscale from the usual PD dreck.

Well, according to Amazon.ca, they WILL be releasing it by itself, but, there's no US confirmation for that yet.

Either way, jesus christ I hope that ultimate edition isn't TOO much. I'm buying it even if it is, but gently caress.

Space_Butler I was a little confused with your last post about the different combos and prices for Tron releases but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew you can buy the original Tron on bluray all by itself:

http://www.amazon.com/Tron-Original-Classic-Two-Disc-Blu-ray/dp/B004KPLVW2/

Edit: Jesus christ there are too many options. Just give me the blurays of each movie, I don't want all this other crap.

They're definitely making it hard to understand which version to buy depending on what you want. The big problem is the re-release of Tron, because that alone makes more options a necessity. Here's what I would have done:
Tron Legacy 3d/2d/dvd/digital copy
Tron Legacy 2d blu-ray
Tron Classic
Then have deals at every retailer that says "Buy Tron Classic with either Tron Legacy release and save $x off your total!" That would have been the most simple way to go about this.
