The Search for "Tron"

I wasn't around when Tron first came out. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I have not seen it. However, with Disney's new Tron Legacy on the way, I really really want to.  Problem is, I can't find it. ANYWHERE! None of the local video rental stores have it. Netflix does not have it in there infinite archives of DVDs, nor is it available on Netflix streaming. Oh, sure, I can find it on internet shopping sites like eBay or Amazon.com, but there isn't a single copy out there that's going for a reasonable price. I'm sorry, but I really don't feel like paying $90 to watch a cheesy sci-fi that uses "breakthrough" animation from 1982.  I did manage to find cheaper DVDs in the $40 range, and that got me excited, until I found out they were "Region 2" DVDs. That means they will only play on European DVD players. That does me a lot of good. I live in the US of A. It's probably not gonna happen. My last ray of hope resides in the possibility of Disney re-releasing it around the release time of Tron Legacy. But I haven't heard anything about that happening thus far. It would be cool, considering the movie hasn't been in print (if that's the right term) since 2002. Oh well. One can only hope...

Side note: this is probably my lengthiest post in a really long time. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. But since I spent all this time typing it, feedback would be nice.
