Tron: Legacy has been, at best, a critical disappointment. At worst, well, “a Dora the Explorer movie would be more interesting.” Who said that? The eight-year-old daughter of noted video game academic Ian Bogost.
Now that Tron Legacy is in theatres, let’s take a look at the many hidden references that pepper the film. The film’s screenwriters were also willing to give us hints about where to find Easter eggs. Spoilers way on!
The $US49.99 price tag for this Tron-inspired Xbox 360 controller may not suggest that it’s anything special, aside from looks of course. So what makes it a collector’s item? Probably the fact only 250 are being made.
It’s been 28 years since the last Tron film, enough time for movie reviewers to build up a healthy amount of indifference to its sequel, Tron Legacy. But some movie buffs enjoyed portions of the newest Tron. Let’s find out who!
The Bugatti brand is responsible for the Bugatti Veyron, the fastest road-legal car on the planet. Former Bugatti employee Daniel Simon is responsible for the newly styled Tron: Legacy Light Cycles.

Hoping for a little less clothing in the upcoming Tron Legacy? Playboy has the next best thing, a totally NSFW spread on the video game movie featuring Playmates Sasckya Porto and Irina Voronina on working light cycles.
