DVD glasses
I my endless effort to look more geeky than should be allowed, I am considering buying this. Don't laugh. It's for watching DVDs inflight without having to worry about R ratings. 
Does anyone have a pair?

Yes, I have the Eyetrek and the Sony Glasstron glasses, the Eyetrek's are not very good, especially when it comes to comfort I prefer my Glasstrons. The major advantage of the Glasstron is that they also have a high density version that connects to your PC.
Regardless of quality, neither is really good enough to use for more than an hour as (imho) they put a lot of stress on your eyes, spend your cash on a decent portable DVD player and some good NC headphones instead...
Other problems with the glasses: batteries (you'd need 2 or 3 to get through a movie)
Cables (cable between laptop/dvd and connection box, cable between connection box and glasses, headphone cable)
