If they did release it in field sequential, then we'd get people complaining about it not working because they don't know if they're watching something in progressive mode or not.
We'd also get people complaining about having to spend $30 to get a kit for playing field sequential 3d. Not only that, but common field sequential kits only support composite video or s-video. How easy would that be to hook up on a blu-ray player. I've never run across any that support hdmi and how many of those would even get sold.

Field sequential doesn't work in progressive mode and Montana is in anaglyph format.

Off topic, old video games that used 'light guns' don't work on progressive scan TV's either. I found this out the hard way when I re-purchased a Dreamcast, House of the Dead 2, and a light gun. Good thing I still have an old SD CRT in the bedroom.

I don't think it being from Disney has anything to do with discounts though. This isn't a classic animation title (well, you could say it's classic animation, but you know what I mean).

If I had to guess, on Amazon, it will likely settle (at some point) at $23-$24 in general, and $20 for a rare sale, based on Cars, Ratatouille, and some other Disney titles. If that's the case, unless I catch it at $20 and am in an impulsive mood to boot, my DVD will likely have to do for the time being.

Where did you find a 3D VHS of Friday the 13th? My copy was in 2D.
I don't know why everyone is getting upset about this. The movie WAS NOT shot for 3D it was released in 2D in 1993 and just recently started coming out in 3D for no reason. I've seen it twice in 3D and it's nothing special.

My sister rented it and gave me 3D glasses as a kid...maybe it wasn't really 3D then

Truth is, the film is great fun and the 3D makes it even more so. I will continue to see it every Halloween in the theaters. It is a unique and entertaining piece of cinema that was highly underrated in its initial release.

Not necessarily, I have a hd projector and hd rear projection tv that support progressive but as long as they aren't upscaling the image, when using an interlaced source, it works fine.

The japanese got a laserdisc 3d version of Friday the 13th in field sequential and anaglyph.
For anaglyph, I also have Dial M For Murder, Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Mask, It Came From Outer Space, Flesh For Frankenstein, The Creeps, Comin' At Ya, Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, Night of the Living Dead, Jaws 3, Amityville 3, and some others that I can't remember off the top of my head.

This will only work on a 1080i CRT display. Any digital display (LCD, DLP, plasma, LCoS, etc.) requires that the incoming signal be scaled to the display's native progressive scan resolution. Only CRTs are capable of displaying the signal in the original interlaced form without upscaling. And CRTs have been almost entirely phased out of the HDTV market these days.

I have a field sequential kit and watch 3d movies on my HD rear projection tv. Saying it doesn't work on the stuff I watch these on doesn't make it so.
If you want, I can get my wife and kids to post verifying the fact that we have sat down and watched movies in 3d on a hd rear projection tv. It works and we've done it.
If you want to see a picture of the tv to make sure that I know what I'm talking about and not just confused about owning a hd rear projection, I've posted my setup in the "show your home theater" type thread.
edit:Found it for you
The only setting I need to change to get the movies to work correctly is to change the output of the dvd player to interlaced instead of progressive.

LCD, DLP, etc. are natively progressive scan. If you feed them an interlaced source, the TV will deinterlace it and display it as progressive anyway. So, field sequential 3D shouldn't work on those types of TVs.
