==Easter Eggs==
 
The US release of the TRON: Legacy Blu-Ray not only contains the main short, but a handful of hidden Easter Eggs relating to The Next Day, some potentially setting up the storyline of the third film. The hidden clips are accessible via a "Space Paranoids" arcade-style high scores menu, requiring the viewer to type in various high score initials to access the clips. The hidden clips included are as follows:
 
*An instant-messaging screen showing a conversation between Edward Dillinger Jr. and either his father or the Master Control Program, discussing Sam's takeover of ENCOM, with the MCP/Dillinger Sr. warning Jr. of Sam: "He may not be his father but he is still a Flynn. Don't underestimate him." before signing off with the MCP's classic catchphrase "End of line". (accessed via the high score initials "DJR")
 
*A tape recording of Alan Bradley speaking on an ENCOM executive about what Flynn may have been doing before his disappearance. (accessed via initials "CEO")

(accessed via initials "SAM")
 
*A promotional video of the Flynn Lives Organization on a video site, showing its members graffitiing several pieces of ENCOM property, including the famous back door entrance. (accessed via initials "TAG")

TRON: The Next Day is a 10-minute short film, released on the Blu-Ray edition of TRON: Legacy in April 2011, that fills in the backstory between TRON and TRON: Legacy. It features scenes from the real-world Flynn Lives ARG as well as purely in-universe content. The short film also reveals the full chronology of the Flynn Lives Organization, naming Roy Kleinberg as the secret figure heading up the operation and Alan Bradley as its financial backer. Some scenes in the short also set up the story for a potential third film.
