I bet they aren't even providing 4 pairs with the sets, more likely you just get 2.
The price on the glasses will probably come down over time and maybe then it will make more sense for someone in my situation, but we do alot of group things at our place. I grabbed one of the Phillips ambilight plasmas the other year. It's gorgeous. Lots of our friends come over to watch shit, kinda gives it a bit of a movie theatre feel. It's hard enough for me to keep track of my every day glasses. In my mind I see the 3D glasses getting broken- getting dropped getting sat on, getting chewed by one of the dogs, etc.
That's just me though, in my house we don't do well with nice things  |
If you can't provide glasses for all your guests perhaps you could hold some sorta contest before the fight to see who gets to use them or just let them fight it out between themselves before the main event. Maybe they could buy their own dam glasses
As for the glasses getting lost or broken, how are they any different than a remote?
People keep saying that the glasses are stupid looking but when I went to see AVATAR in 3D at an upscale movie theater they had really nice 3d glasses that could've easily passed for today's sunglasses and weren't dorky at all. As the technology becomes more popular I'm sure designers will be coming out with better styles and Companies like Ray-Ban will have models of their own and stuff like 3D glasses caddies will be available to store them.
It will take several years for 3D to grab a significant market share but I think it eventually will.
