so I guess BB has a jump on it.
The last Prince CD I bought was sold only at Target, although I now see it on Amazon. I'm not comfortable with those specific-merchant-exclusive kinda deals... :angry-tappingfoot:

"TRON: Legacy Blu-ray, Video Quality
To preserve the original IMAX theatrical viewing experience, the picture image will alternate between 2.35:1 and 1.78:1 aspect ratios. The black matte bars on your screen will adjust accordingly.
I do wish seamless branching had been used to afford viewers the option of choosing between Tron Legacy's alternating aspect ratios and its fixed-ratio theatrical presentation. Personally, I find dynamic aspect ratios to be a wee bit of a distraction. I'd much rather immerse myself in a film than be pulled out of the experience every time the camera moves from a vast cityscape to a more intimate setting. But my gripe is a small complaint at best; one that doesn't factor into my impression of Disney's magnificent, jaw-dropping 1080p/AVC-encoded Blu-ray transfer in any way. Like the original Tron, Legacy is a film of two worlds: the dingy, all-too-real world of the Users and the neon-stepped world of the Programs, both of which look absolutely amazing in high definition. Claudio Miranda's gorgeous palette is bursting with steely colors, powerful primaries, relatively lifelike skintones and rich, inky blacks. Moreover, contrast is strong and stable throughout, delineation is impeccable and detail... oh, dear users, the detail. Crisp, clean and razor-sharp, Disney's transfer all but celebrates every subtle hexagon, sliver of hair and brilliant spark of light that graces the screen. Edges are masterfully rendered (without any ringing of note), fine textures are wonderfully resolved, a fine veneer of grain lends the picture a much-appreciated filmic resonance, and every seemingly infinite background comes alive. It may be a 2D presentation, but this is as close to 3D as a 2D image comes.
The technical encode is equally impressive. Significant artifacting, banding and other compression anomalies never set foot on the Grid, and the only oddity of note is a bit of noise that spikes from time to time (most noticeably in the skies at the beginning of Chapter 7). However, while the noise in question will surely draw a few eyes its way, it occurs as a result of the film's grainfield and the image's overall clarity, nothing more. It's by no means a cause for any concern, and by no means does it detract from the impact of the presentation. (At least not to the extent that it requires a reduction in score.) Legacy boasts one of the most gorgeous transfers of 2011 and it's only March. Fans of the film will hardly be able to contain their excitement.
TRON: Legacy Blu-ray, Audio Quality
If you couldn't get enough of Daft Punk's magnetic score before, just wait until it grabs hold of you in the comfort of your own home theater via Disney's flawless, top-tier DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track. The French duo's pulsing electonica, the very heartbeat of Legacy's drama and action, seems to emanate from every inch of the room, effortlessly filling the soundfield, raising hair on arms and necks with convincing precision, and taking full advantage of every speaker in the room. Yet the music never overwhelms or overpowers the mix, settling in amongst the gladiatorial chaos of the Grid. The LFE channel devotes its attention to bass beats and explosions, to equally rousing ends; the rear speakers tackle each beep with the same tenacity as the ever-present, ever-engaging atmospheric effects, acoustic touches and environmental ambience that populate Flynn's virtual world; and dialogue remains clean, clear, intelligible and perfectly prioritized from beginning to end, leaving little doubt as to whether the mix has been meticulously crafted or haphazardly tossed together. Cross-channel pans are transparent, directionality is eerily accurate, and dynamics are rousing and enveloping. In fact, the whole of the experience is incredibly immersive and there wasn't a moment -- not a single moment -- that I didn't feel entrenched in Legacy's two worlds. Disney's Blu-ray release offers the AV presentation to beat this year. Good luck, upcoming blockbusters.

Awsome AWSOME Blu!!
Billy Joel was on Howard Stern a few months ago talking about this.
They mentioned some type of documentary that was shot for/about this concert.
Is that documentary part of what is included?
Noticed that The Terminator will be released in a "Digibook" format next week.
What is digibook?
