Anyone else excited about CHUCK in 3-D?!?!?!

I am pretty excited about this episode. I have the 3-D glasses from The Polar Express 3-D movie - do you think these will work?

Anyone else find these? They are supposed to be in Sobe life displays.

The GF took one for the team and went to a screening of Bloody Valentine 3D.

I now have a pair of said glasses.

I'm pretty sure that's a different type of 3-D technology and those will not work for Chuck. Unless your smiley face is meant to be sarcastic. Or I suppose I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. The article says those glasses are blue and amber colored, where as the My Bloody Valentine 3-D glasses are basically clear (or a bit grey looking). It's not the same type of 3-D, so it won't work.

Wow, 17 stores and not a single one of those in my area.

Four more mail days before the Bowl, I wouldn't expect them in time if I called.

I'm going to use the ones that came with my Polar Expresss Blu-ray. That should work fine.

Here's hoping it is better than the Medium 3-D episode.

Correct. You will need the red and blue lenses and not the polarized ones used in theaters.

Actually, I don't know if those will work either. This is from the article above:

will use a new process by ColorCode that will be viewable in 3D on any HD set. Technically, ColorCode is a subset of an old 3D process called “anaglyphic” that requires special glasses. However, unlike previous Anaglyphic 3D processes, the ColorCode system requires blue and amber lens glasses, instead of the blue and red ones used with previous 3D anaglyphic systems. The 3D effect is supposed to be more dramatic with the new ColorCode glasses and will appear clearer (in 2D) for the viewers that didn’t get their 3D glasses.

What? Only HD sets? First I've heard of that.

I totally forgot about this. Luckily I happened to be at walmart last night, and my cousin saw the display. Grabbed a couple pairs of them.

Yvonne Strahovski in 3-D? The mind boggles.

Targets and Mejers are supposed to get them around January 30th.

You cannot use polorized or red/blue glasses. It's more of an amber/blue thing.

They stopped taking phone orders about 5 days ago. I tried and they told me there was not enough time to mail them.

It took me calling around before I found one of our Kmarts that still had them. Now I have enough for us and our guests for the game.

Chuck returns February 2nd. Don't worry, I'll start an episode thread then to remind everyone.

I saw a commercial for it tonight and it didn't mention anything about having to have an HDTV.

Nope. I need to find a pair myself. It's going to suck watching a blurry episode if I don't get the glasses in time.

This seems like a piss poor promotion, because a lot of people are still having a hard time finding the glasses.

If you’re desperate, you can get them at EBay, just search for “3d glasses superbowl”, although it may not get to you in time.

Also, my Target store has them now (no need to wait until 2/1), maybe yours will too.
