If you are looking to get the edge in MP: You won't. Don't buy it.
If you are looking to get a coolexperience in SP: Can you spare the doe: Go for it.

i had a pair ages ago and I can say after having tried them once first thing I did was selling them at eBay! Maybe technology changed since then, but mine were rather annoying then fun.

the view was far away from a real 3d feeling, wearing the glasses annoying, fighting with those drivers as well and a performance drop of 5-10% i can't believe as u ought to need twice as much frames (one for each eye) to get the same fps as without these gadget

Maybe your parents are right: these glasses doesn't seem to work...

don't be too sorry. they're in fact a funny gadget and there'll be some ooohs and aaahs when ur friends try them but as soon as the first enthusiasm wears off and u want to play successful, u'll put them aside and play without! This I say on basis of what I saw some years ago. These glasses might have been optimized since then, but in general it's probably the same

guess ur right ,but at least u tried it .
the computer industry is a very fast developing industry
in the last few yeas we have seen jumps from 100mhz to 3.4 ghz in cpu's and from 1mb vga cards with bad 2d implementation to 256mb cards with super 3d looks.

so i think a few years would add alot to those goggles if it was true .
but if i am to get them then it wouldnt be anywhere in the near future since i havent upgraded my vga card yet ......... and probably will be useless with the new goggles

mmm, I'm not so sure about a great improvement because the general technique is still the same... Maybe, though, the fps are higher now, which though rather depends on the vga card than on the glasses.

If u wanted just any 3d glasses, I'd take a look at ebay. Ebay Germany has many ELSA revelator glasses and they're quite cheap (<20 Euro). Those eDimensional glasses I found just at US-ebay for 49$, which is atleast 10$ less than written in that review.

I think, you're dreaming of something like the star trek holo deck (or is it Deep Space 9, anyways). If it really did work the way we want it to, it would be FUN FUN FUN, but it doesn't. Remember, this is just a pair of glasses and ur monitor. Best thing can be that u kinda look into a little box where some puppets are jumping around!

Whether u get suck into the game is not depending on 2D or 3D, it's still the game itself. Go to school and, even in full 3D, dolby surround 6.1 or whatever, it's dead boring. And then, read a good book and u'll forget anything else - without ANY kind of 'view' or sound.
