FREE! 3D Glasses for Monsters Vs. Aliens Commercial and Chuck Episode!

[SRW1000]

In case you haven't seen the promotions, NBC sill be airing a special 3D trailer for the upcoming movie Monsters Vs. Aliens during the Super Bowl.  On Monday, they'll be showing a special 3D episode of Chuck.

I thought it would be a good idea to list where people have been finding the glasses, since it could save somebody a trip to the store.

I found them tonight at the Piggly Wiggly in Saukville.

Here are a few Q&As:

• Are these the dorky glasses with the color lenses?  Yes, although they seem to be a slightly different shade than the typical red/blue versions.
  
• Do I have to buy something?  No.  These are free, no purchase required.  Just look for the Monsters Vs. Aliens SoBe display.
  
• Can I get more than one pair?  Yes.  They're actually printed four per sheet, and you'll have to cut or tear them apart.
  
• Are they just cheap cardboard glasses?  Yes, with very bright colors.
  
• Will these fit over my regular glasses?  Maybe, it depends on how big they are.
  
• Can I use these on regular TV shows?  Yes, you can use them with all regular programming.  It won't make them appear in 3D, and it may give you a headache, but you can certainly wear them whenever you want.
  
• Will the game be in 3D?  Yes it will, but it will only be shown in 2D on TV.  (The NFL is actually working on a way to present games in 3D, but won't be for years.  Glasses may or may not be required at that time.)

Please don't use this thread to speculate how bad the spot and show will be, how lame the effect might turn out, or how cheaply made the glasses are.  They're free, and you'll be watching the Super Bowl anyway, so no carping allowed.

Here's a link to the website, in case you're looking for more information.

I saw some at Pick n Save on County Line in the Falls. I think they were for this...3D glasses aren't something they normally carry there. :huh?:

Will the 3D effect be the same when TMJ4 airs it in SD because of cold weather? :bang:

Why bother getting the glasses!

Wind chill temperature in 3D. Wow.

I picked up 12 pair (they come 4 pair per sheet) at Pick and Save on Greenfield and 68th Street. They weren't on display. You have to go to the service desk and ask for them. When I got mine a guy in line asked "what are those for?" I told him it was for a 3D Super Bowl commercial and a TV show the next day on NBC. He said "Oh really I didn't now they were doing that." He then asked the clerk for his 3D glasses as did a few others.
       A random sampling at my work indicates that a lot of people do not know about this. My guess is half the audience will be clueless when the commerical airs.

I picked them up at Pick N Save too but they had a display by the Pepsi products.

I guess I'll have to pick up a pair after work tomorrow.  I really like Chuck, but I hate 3D.  I don't want to have to wear stupid cardboard glasses to watch TV in my home.

I thought it was pretty unimpressive.  Apparently 3D hasn't made any major advancements in the last 25 years.

[Bebop]

They have advanced, just not with the cheap blue and red filter cardboard glasses.

Those active 3-D glasses can be expensive.

Looked blue and yellow, not the normal blue and red.  Blue/red glasses didn't do much, at least not with my eyes.
