Heads up users, it looks like Tron Legacy and Tron (now dubbed ‘The Original Classic’) are both headed to Blu-ray on April 5th. It looks like you’ll be able to pick up a few different versions, including a crazy-expensive collectors edition with five discs. Actually, six if you count the replica of an identity disc that comes bundled.

Say what you will about Tron Legacy, but it was visually stunning and will look great in HD. We’ll find out on April 5th how the original Tron looks.

Here’s the Full Press Release

As anticipated, if a little late, today Fox released the first trailer for X-Men: First Class. This X-Men prequel is helmed by Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn and stars James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, and a whole bunch of people I’ve never heard of playing characters I’m not familiar with. We’ll be back with reactions later.

What do you think?

Fellow guitar players: are you worried about how you’ll carry your 6-string come Halloween when you’re sporting your best Captain America: The First Avenger costume? I know I am. Luckily Whipping Post Leather has us covered.

Their line of leather guitar cases are insanely expensive and remind me of the the upcoming leather-and-pouch-covered superhero film. The case above retails for $825, but it doesn’t look like a hard case. That’s a lot of dough for the equivalent of a fancy gig bag.

HOP – Movie Trailers – iTunes
Something tells me that Illumination Entertainment's involvement in this movie is going to make it way better than it should be. They were behind Despicable Me, and for some reason, HOP actually looks kind of cool.

'The Consumer' is a wonderfully bizarre animated short. Watch it.

This Is the Saddest Book I Can Imagine
I agree, and this is coming from a guy who's made lots of meals for one in a Microwave.

Mmm, cheese cave.

I bet a lot of you played with Fisher Price Little People when you were tiny. They’ve been around for decades, and even thought they were plastic by the time I played with them, I always loved the older, wooden Little People.

That’s the vibe I get from RandomlyGenerated’s Etsy store, although instead of dogs, cowboys, and generic folks, the peg people are characters from our favorite pieces of geek culture. The Ghostbusters are definitely my favorite, although there aren’t any TMNT Peg People on there yet so that could change.

Check out the rest after the jump.
