Love the Tron Light Cycle from Tron: Legacy? Have $55,000 sloshing around?

Hammacher Schlemmer has a street legal Tron Light Cycle for you. It’s not exactly the same as the screen version of the Tron Light Cycle because…well…you know, physics but it’s pretty damn close.

The makers says it’s “designed for casual cruising and slow ride-bys” but it still comes packing a 966cc Suzuki four-stroke engine, a six-speed manual transition and the quite, quite mad virtually-horizontal riding position. It’s rimless wheels are modified truck wheels. Anyone want to lend us $55,000?

Crysis2-a

So Crysis 2…you’ve been waiting for it right? It was delayed last year and punted forward to a March release. However, it looks like someone wasn’t willing to wait that long and Crysis 2 has leaked in a big way. The whole game including the files needed to swerve around the game’s DRM have popped up online and the forums are buzzing with folk getting their hands on Crysis 2 ahead of time. That’s bad news for Crytek which has been slaving away on Crysis 2 for ages. While you wait for the legit release, check out of Crysis 2 preview and Crysis 2 multiplayer preview.

Out March 25 | £varies | Crysis (via Facepunch)
