While I am not big on video modes, I have to say that it seems very appropriate to have one on Tron.
Edit: Kevin beat me my 1 minute! 
Quoted from playernumber4:I'd love to see a video mode. Hopefully the update will also fix the issue of only half of the game sometimes not turning on when you hit the power switch. Shutting it off and turning it on again fixes it every time, but it would be nice to see it work properly every time.
I thought that the 1.4 update fixed this issue?
Quoted from NimblePin:Dude, take the sticker off the glass already!
It keeps that NIB experience alive!
Quoted from Av8:Dont take the stickers off
No way would I keep that fugly sticker on my glass.
Quoted from goatdan:*Some* video modes *can be* fun.
If you want proof that not all of them are fun, play the complete mess that is the Tommy video mode, that apparently awards points completely at random.
+1
Love Tommy, hate the video mode. All you do is keep the plane at the bottom of the screen, dont move, and you get 13 million points every time.

Gotta say it: that sticker looks hideous on the glass, and I personally find it to be very distracting and takes away from the pin itself.
There, now I feel better for getting that off my chest (again).

How do you know that he has one at home? I dont doubt it, but how would you know this type of info. Watch interviews, etc.?
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Quoted from jackal2001:Its amazing all the posts stating, "how do you know this info?"
People talk, emails go out, etc. Some of us know things and talk to others that know things. Its the "circle of trust" and we don't just let anyone in.
Yeah, seriously, people act like this is all top secret stuff and there is no way others posting here could actually have this information, when in fact most of it is readily available/obtained.
Quoted from Cobray:JonM said:I love TRON as it is but I'd love to see the following additions:
Ball saver at start of SoS
Yes! Especially if you hit the GEM shot (like a 3 second ball save once the shot is hit.. so many times I've hit the GEM shot only to have the ball go into the lane, past the pops, and straight down the middle. Not the reward I was looking for after all that work to get there and from hitting a difficult shot.
Too true!

Quoted from TigerLaw:Now that Stern tossed the ac/dc guys a bone and told them an update would be to them in a few weeks, I sure wish they would do the same with us and let us know that even though the game has been discontinued they will support it with one more code polish.
Come on stern, give us an announcement too. Just let us know it will happen. No need to say when.
I don't think that will happen for Tron because from what I understand Lyman is doing this on the side.
Quoted from smokedog:Then why provide an insert for an extra ball on the Pro version? To tease us?
I don't care about the pro version.

Quoted from Redeyes:I have never seen the MM video mode and I own one.. I think u get it by spelling " fire"? Than u have to hit Merlin hole and get lucky that it picks video mode? Seems like very small chance that it ever picks video mode? Any suggestions?
I see the video mode on my MM fairly regularly (maybe 1 out of 4 or 5 games).
In fact, last night I was lucky enough to have got the "save the calves" video mode (instead of "save the children).
Oh, and Tron update *is* coming. Just a matter of when.
Quoted from tilt-master:Rob seems pretty confident. I hope it does happen but I'm not holding my breath, it just seems highly unlikely.Rob, do you have an inside scoop?
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 
Quoted from Drano:WTF is save the calves?
A special video mode on MM for special players.
