Several owners of (movie related) websites received a package from Disney with a couple of Arcade Coins and a memory stick. Together these were the "keys" to a special arcade that Disney recreated to start up interest in the new Tron movie.

"Flynn's Arcade" it was called of course.
Not only was there a good number of working classic machines, but they even made a "REAL" Space Paranoids cab !!! (Regretfully with an LCD but hey.....)
Behind a (guarded !) Tron machine, there was a big secret ! Notice the music by Daft Punk...
I sure hope the movie will live up to the excellent marketing strategies by disney:

They're on eBay, but not going cheap.

I bet the BYOAC coin community will make repro's soon, although they are always very afraid of copyright in the US ;)

They're on eBay, but not going cheap.
They have been selling on EBay US for anywhere between $25 to $80 (with ticket).
That HD trailer looks absolutely awesome, this is now my most officially anticipated film! I LOVED the original!

They obviously even hacked up the well known "house rules" sign !
I guess the US people will get the fun stuff only but I PRAY that they will do Europe as well......
