| wrobinso's Full Review: Sony Glasstron |
Uh-uh, not yet. As cool as they look, they don't even sit nicely on the bridge of your nose. As swoopy as they are on the outside, inside you've got a screen that's not quite as cinemascope as you'd like to believe they'd be, so the experience is not quite the virtual reality you can almost taste. Sony's almost there, though, you can almost taste it. Right now, you'd have to really want to watch movies while lying on your back to make the Glasstron more than an extravagance.
One nice place to try them out, however, is the Sony funhouse on Madison and 56th in NYC. Of course, that's putting yourself in harm's way for anyone with the least tendency toward gadget excess.
