When I bought my most recent Cab (that sounds cooler that it really is) the guy I bought it from had just picked up a Tron and had it sitting in his garage. My kids were absolutely mesmerized by the Tron cabinet. The best part was that it was not even plugged in and the sun was out so no black light gimmicks. I was shocked how fascinated they were considering they had never played the game and have only seen the movie once or twice. A real testament to just how special the Tron cabinet is.

BTW -

Disney has a new Tron game for the iPhone/iTouch. It is free today.

Post by: Havok on July 19, 2010, 11:38:13 pm: Off on a tangent - WTF is holiday 2010? Perhaps they mean CHRISTMAS?

Or, they already missed the deadline - we just had a holiday; July 4th...

Can't stand these asinine companies trying to purge Christmas from the world.

Hmm...although the way he worded it, I'm guessing he's going to ask for a huge amount ("taking best offer since movie is coming out later this year").

Can't hurt to make an offer at least...

Whos going to first in making a TRON 2 Cabinet :cheers:

My MAME cabinet themed after the main frame in TRON.

I knew it'd win the chicks over if they ever made a new TRON movie.

They're releasing the game to coincide with the movie. I wish they would release it first. You can pre-order it now:

I've scored an ENCOM ID badge, and some tron postcards.

Next big thing occurs at 2:30pm eastern time tomorrow -- seems like it coincides with something at Comic Con.
