I also posted a shot of the 3D Oakley glasses, (and the entire display at EOL club):

They did not have on display the Oakley/Tron 3D glasses, but did anybody happen to see them?
I really don't see any value in having your own high end pair of 3D glasses, I'm just really curious to know what they look like.

And is any other city offering the exclusive Dec 15th showing?

I've always had an impression of the Sam Flynn character as something of a male Paris Hilton, for some reason.

Sorry Eolith, I just re-read your post, those were the 3D glasses? The ones they had on display looked exactly like that but were the normal Oakley sunglasses.

I guess it just comes in 3D and non-3D form. Thanks for the pic.

Yep, those are (I forgot the specific model of oakleys) with tron branding and passive 3D lenses put in them.

The benefit is that you can always just replace them with some other ones if you want to use them outside of movie theaters since most 3D tvs use shutter glasses.

That...is the stupidest thing I've seen in a very long time. Aside from some of the crap my students come up with, of course.

Where to begin?

1. They don't look remotely Tron-ish. Not at all.
2. They look stupid.
3. You pay a hundred and fifty bucks plus tax for a pair of glasses you can only use in certain theatres for certain movies.
4. They are passive polarization glasses, and are more expensive than a pair of good quality active shutter glasses.

I just...I can't wrap my mind around it. I mean, Tron shaving cream would make more sense than this. Tron Hostess fruit pies would be more realistic (with real glowing cherry center!). Tron kitchen appliences I could get behind.

You know what? If they were Tron-inspired sunglasses, and looked actually Tron-ish (not just with a blue 0 on the side) then maybe I could understand. I would think it was kind of dumb, but I could see it being cool. Hell, I think that that Tron watch is pretty sexy. But you can't even use these as sunglasses. It's just so stupid!

Right, I'm going to stop before I have an aneurysm.
