3D glasses for Wii games, etc....?????

[DawnM]

Where can I get decent 3D glasses?

I DO NOT want the $100+ glasses! SOmething more sturdy than the cardboard ones, but not high end as these are for KIDS!

Thanks,

Dawn

Do you ever go to the movie theater to see a 3D movie?? The glasses are there and many theaters now have kids' sized glasses. Shoot you pay for them with the movie (look at the price difference seriously)

ETA: Not sure how well they work with the Wii games though.

I keep mine....I paid for the darned things! I have no idea what I am going to do with them!! If anyone finds they work well with the games let us know...mine will go into the "game box".

No, we don't.

Dawn, I'll send you a pair, if you like, and you can see if they will work.

 

[DawnM]

That would be great. Let me do a bit more research.....I was hoping someone here would steer me in the right direction. I don't want you to go out of your way though. I know this is a busy time of year.

The extra cost for 3D movies is NOT for the glasses - it is for the special digital projectors and screens that are needed to show the movies and the increased cost of that technology. Factored into that might also be the increased cost of production for the 3D movies and the cameras that are needed, so the theaters might have to pay more to show the movies, as well.

The employees don't know that and they tell us we are paying for 3D glasses.

Heh. My theater has signs ALL OVER it saying that the surcharge is NOT for the glasses because they have people constantly coming in saying "I brought my glasses from last time, I shouldn't have to pay the $2."

My theater doesn't have any info posted anywhere....and we only have one in town.
