Chuck in 3D!!

[STFanatic]

On Febuary 2, we will get to see Chuck in 3D!

Details here: Chuck...in 3D! (http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/video/clips/chuckin-3d/932561/)

I have my glasses already, and oddly enough, it has one blue lens and one orange instead of the usual red lens.

[closetclana]

So I need ideas as to where I can find some of the glasses. I know they are supposed to be at stores where Pepsi products are sold but so far I have not seen them anywhere.

[STFanatic]

I talked to a friend who works at Walmart and he said they were supposed to have them all out by this weekend for sure.

[jkashuba07]

the reason its not blue/red is because this is a new 3D technology designed by Intel, its slightly different.

I believe the main goal, was so that It could be watched in 2D without distortion, or 3D with the glasses!

I talked to a friend who works at Walmart and he said they were supposed to have them all out by this weekend for sure.

So is does that mean this weekend as in this MLK holiday weekend today or does that mean the weekend coming up on the 23-25??

[STFanatic]

Yes, this coming weekend (24th-25th) or sooner.

[closetclana]

Okay! I'm totally hitting the stores this weekend in search of those glasses. I'm excited. I hope the episode is a good one.

[jkashuba07]

alot of kmarts had them about 1 1/2 weeks ago, my friend picked up a shhet which includes four of them. They are free, so hes gunna give me 2 of them. What a friend I have. I mean can a friend do anything that means more than getting you 3D Chuck glasses? hahahaha

[STFanatic]

I grabbed several of the complete sheets of the glasses, I am greedy that way :p

[Superman's Princess]

Here's a list I found that gives some of the places that are supposed to have the glasses.

Kroger, Ralph's, Frys, Safeway/Vons, Supervalu, Food Lion, A & P, Pathmark, Coburns, Fresh Brands, Hy Vee, Nash Finch, Roundy's, Winn Dixie, K-Mart, Dollar General, Hess (select stores), CVS (select geographies), Meijer (on 1/31), Target (on 1/31)

I got my glasses yesterday. My dad watches the show too and yesterday he went searching everywhere for them because he thought the episode was coming on that night. He had to go to several places before he finally found them at a BI-LO.

[TMLS]

Well it's a good way of messing up the downloaders I suppose ;)

[closetclana]

I got my glasses today! Who-ho!

[superhippie2000]

i need me some glasses :( but i dont go anywhere lol.
NBC should offer them online to send out for.

[STFanatic]

I have some extra glasses, Come on over Jeff. ;)

[superhippie2000]

by the time i get there the series would be over :lol: plus if i could get there i could get to kmart lol.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Damn, I have no glasses...

[badwolf]

I got my glasses at the grocery store!

I thought it was because orange is Chuck's signature color! :rotfl:

Are they planning on doing more NBC shows in HD that would work with the glasses? That would be smart. More bang for your buck.

as of now its just one of the superbowl ads and Chuck

So will any 3-D glasses work or do they need to be ones specifically designed for the show? I have my 3-D glasses from My Bloody Valentine.

[superhippie2000]

think they have to be the orange and blue ones. it depends on the colors used for the 3d. i think chucks 3d will just be the outlines of blue and orange and not scrambled like the movies are. you can try the movie theater ones but probably wont work.

boo, guess I'll have to swing by a store and see if they have any just to be sure. :rolleyes:

[krpto]

yah I too have several pair of the movie theatre 3d glasses yet I cannot find a single pair of the blue and orange/red ones that are needed to watch 3d on tv.

[STFanatic]

As I said before, I got mine at Dollar General.
However, I did find a phone number to call to order a pair.

"Should a display’s supply of glasses run out, consumers can call 1-800-646-2904 in order to obtain a pair."
Note: I have not called that number, so I am not 100% sure of it.

Here is a high resolution picture of the glasses so you can see the color of the lenses.

dont know if it will work but you can get like blue and orange plastic seran wrap type thing and make your own glasses with them. its more of a color thing the the glasses thing lol.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

I dont't even watch Chuck, but I will have to check this out!

[Ginx]

Might have to do that actually if I can't find them in the stores. Tried a few stores and no one seems to have them. :\

[STFanatic]

Do you have a Target store near you? They should have them by the 31st.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

Another thing you can do is chase down a Pepsi truck and make the driver give you some glasses :lol:

Or just call the Pepsi distribution place in your area and ask where they have them.

I actually was right next to a Pepsi truck at work today, there where unloading! I wish I would have known that haha.

Yeah, there's a Target near me so I guess I can always try there. Just don't want to be looking for them at the last minute....:\

not sure how well it will work but its worth a try lol. its just the colors i think dont think they have any digital things inplaneted in the color :\

[STFanatic]

I just cut out my glasses, they come in a strip of four and only the ear pieces are peferated, you need sissors to seperate them.

Also, there is a 3D promo on the "Monsters vs. Aliens (http://www.monstersvsaliens.com/)" website. I tried it with the glasses, it is pretty darn cool.

[superhippie2000]

can you get a 3d screencap for me so i can see if the glasses i have work?

[STFanatic]

I tried, my screen capture came up all black for some reason, but on that link, the eyeball and the other picture are in that 3D.

[superhippie2000]

o ok. ive seen the black thing before its like coded to not pick up i think :\

ok ill check that other thing.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

eh the spy kids glasses dont work on it :\

[STFanatic]

That eyeball is pretty cool lookin' :lol:

no, this is a new 3D technology developed by Intel... You can pick them up at walmart or kmart or whatever!

[closetclana]

I got mine at the local grocery store. They had a big Pepsi display. Maybe call around and see who has them?

I tried out the Monster site but it didn't work so well for me. It was like my eyes were trying to hard to compensate for the color difference. I hope it is better on my big screen TV or I'll have one heck of a headache by the time Chuck is over.

[STFanatic]

The Monster vs Aliens trailer looked pretty darn cool in the 3D, I have a high Def laptop screen, and it came across well.
And the movie sounds like it may be worth checking out.

[closetclana]

I watched a preview of the episode on youtube that was in 3D and it was pretty cool. I'm excited.

[STFanatic]

I caught a commercial of Chuck in 3D last night during Knight Rider, it was really cool, in one part Chuck swings across the screen it looked like his feet were outside the TV.
I have my glasses within easy reach ;)

Here is a tip, let your fingers do the walking (OK, I really use the internet to search for phone numbers) and call around to see which store has the glasses.
I have seen them at a Pepsi display near the other Super bowl displays.

[biggkoz]

I remember they tried this in 1982 with jaws on tv I hope it works better haha.

[Ginx]

Still haven't nabbed my glasses but hopefully Target will have some tomorrow :)

[maryjanewatson]

I didn't know about the glasses. I didn't see any advertisements or anything. well, I guess that could be because I don't watch NBC except for chuck. but still, I was mad I didn't know. *sigh* I wonder if I can still find glasses somewhere. I recorded it, so I could watch it again with the glasses.

I work for kroger, but I didn't see the glasses anywhere.

[Ginx]

That's what I did. I found the glasses at CVS but I had to ask for them because they had them behind the counter. I DVR'd it so I'll just watch it later on.

[cousteau]

they're screening this without the 3D as well...right? Otherwise that's going to suck the big on in the UK.

[closetclana]

Online here in the US you have the option of watching it with the 3d and w/o the 3d. Honestly, my husband watched the 3d broadcast w/o glasses and he said it looked fine - just a little orange halo in some scenes.

[jkashuba07]

yea 2D version can be watched online at nbc.com/chuck

my guess if they did a rerun, of the show in the future it would be 2D, since they prolly figure people have thrown away the glasses being they are only paper, and prolly figure they never use them again!
