I have to admit something to you. I do not have true geek cred. I have never seen Tron. I know that as a geek this is some sort of cultural rallying cry but it was just something I never saw. I wonder if life would have been different had I seen the movie. Well, I can’t dwell on the past. I can look to the future, specifically April 5 when the release of TRON: Legacy & TRON: The Original Classic comes out n 3D Blu-ray, 2D Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital Copy. Then I’ll be getting a copy to view so I can finally see this movie that so many of my geek brethren are so enamored by.
But I won’t be the only person who is going to get a copy of this 5 DVD set. Nope. I’m giving one set away to a lucky reader. Details on how to enter are below.

I like tron:legacy because of the story the visuals the action and the light jets and the light cycles battles.
[...] Pretty exciting stuff. So, if you’d like to win yourself a copy of the 5 Disc set you can Enter my Tron Legacy DVD Contest. [...]
Tron: Legacy was easily one of my faves from 2010! The effects and story was great for me, even though I can admit I’m easily impressed. But the 3D took it to a whole new level! Plus the Daft Punk soundtrack was amazing also and complemented it perfectly!
