== Home media == ''Tron'' was originally released [[Walt Disney Home Video (VHS)|on VHS]], [[Betamax]], [[Laserdisc|LaserDisc]], and [[Capacitance Electronic Disc|CED Videodisc]] on December 1, 1982.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Disney Sets Holiday Promos|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=November 13, 1982|volume=94|issue=35|page=38|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XiQEAAAAMBAJ&dq=disney+billboard+Mary+Poppins+November+1982&pg=PT37}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1982/CB-1982-10-30.pdf|title=SoundViews|magazine=[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cashbox]]|date=October 30, 1982|volume=44|issue=23|page=18|quote=The vidcassette will carry a suggested retail list of $84.95}}</ref> As with most video releases from the 1980s, the film was cropped to the 4:3 [[pan and scan]] format. The film saw multiple re-releases throughout the 1990s, most notably an "Archive Collection" LaserDisc box set,<ref>{{cite web|title=Tron β Archived Edition LaserDisc Box Set |publisher=LaserDisc Database |url=http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/06557/6141-CS/Tron-(1982) |access-date=February 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120915/http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/06557/6141-CS/Tron-(1982) |archive-date=September 15, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> which featured the first release of the film in its original widescreen 2.20:1 format. By 1993, ''Tron'' had grossed {{US$|17 million|long=no}} in [[video rentals]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Kinder |first=Marsha |title=Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games: From Muppet Babies to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles |date=1993 |publisher=[[University of California Press]] |isbn=978-0-520-07776-8 |page=12 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PbYwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA12}}</ref> ''Tron'' saw its first [[DVD]] release on December 12, 2000. This bare-bones release utilized the same non-anamorphic video transfer used in the Archive Collection LaserDisc set, and it did not include any of the LD's special features. On January 15, 2002, the film received a 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition release in the forms of a VHS and a special 2-Disc DVD set. This set featured a new [[THX]] mastered anamorphic video transfer and included all of the special features from the LD Archive Collection release, plus an all-new 90 minute "Making of Tron" documentary. To tie in with the home video release of ''Tron: Legacy'', the movie was finally re-released by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] on Special Edition DVD and for the first time on [[Blu-ray Disc]] on April 5, 2011, with the subtitle "The Original Classic" to distinguish it from its sequel. ''Tron'' was also featured in a 5-Disc Blu-ray Combo with the [[3D film|3D]] copy of ''Tron: Legacy''. The film was re-released on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK on June 27, 2011.
