This Week Redux: Commanders and Discs of Tron Double Confirmed

Redundancy If you really cared you probably already knew, but just in case you have a press release fetish I'm posting the weekly press release after the break.  If nothing else, it does have links to the xbox.com pages, and that's something.

What I really want to know though is who is buying?

Oh, and there's a bunch of screenshots after the break too.  (Was that important to mention?)
