Tron: Legacy starring Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Jeff Bridges is now officially a big deal at online retailer Amazon.com. Since first appearing on the site a few days ago, it now occupies the first, second and third top spots on the Blu-ray hourly bestsellers chart.
To my knowledge no other Blu-ray release has ever accomplished this feat.
A closer inspection of Amazon’s Tron: Legacy Blu-ray listings tells us a couple intriguing things. First, all three of the skus on the bestsellers list include the Blu-ray 3D version so Disney’s speculative plan to put the Blu-ray 3D version in as many homes as possible seems to be working. They are in order: The five-disc set with Tron Legacy on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray 2D, DVD, digital copy and Tron: The Original Classic on Blu-ray; the Limited Edition set that includes everything in the five-disc set along with an exclusive identity disc case that lights up; and the four-disc combo pack that includes everything in the five-disc set except for Tron: The Original Classic.
In addition, each of these listings is marked with an April 5 release date which is right around when we were expecting Tron: Legacy in stores. If you already locked in a pre-order then you have an idea of when it will arrive. If you haven’t then you seem to be in the minority.

I expect Disney to make their full Tron: Legacy on Blu-ray announcement this upcoming Friday so check back then for all the bonus features that may or may not include confirmation of Tron 3 (my guess is not).
