I have been waiting for a deal on this for a while , and this is the lowest price I ever seen (with FS or store pickup). This is the 3D glasses coming with the playstation 3D display, so it supports SimulView while other active 3D glasses do not. Credit to wgillis @ slickdeals.

UPDATED: The Kmart near me already sold out, but the guy at BB is very nice that he called a Kmart 57 miles away which still have $19.99 3D glasses in stock, so I price-matched and got a second pair.

19.99 at Kmart Clearance, but this should be way more available. I would still PM Kmart if possible.

How should I PM to Kmart, is there an online link from Kmart.com shows it's $19.99? I can only see $69.99 on their webpage:

I believe it's in store only, so they would have to call and verify price/stock with Kmart.

This was actually mentioned in the PlayStation display thread last night, but nothing wrong with it having it's own thread.

You would have to find a Kmart near you that has them in stock at the $20 price so that if Best Buy calls to confirm you know that they MIGHT get the right answer. Possibly even buy it from Kmart, show Best Buy your receipt, then return it to Kmart. GL, my nearest Kmart did not carry the glasses nor the display, let alone at the sale price.

Thanks OP. Been waiting to pick up another pair!

Do these by any chance work with other TVs requiring active shutter glasses?

TYPICALLY they don't, but I'm not sure about these glasses in particular.

It's a massive PITA, but each 3D TV manufacturer uses their own "standard" for their glasses. My Fry's store has a crapton of SONY, Samsung, Panasonic (you get the picture) glasses, and each only works for their own brand. And none of them are cheap.

There are some glasses that claim to be universal, but they're all off-brand.

Anyway, I wouldn't expect these glasses to work with anything other than SONY. I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt it. I'd be pretty surprised if that were the case in fact.

I believe these glasses are supposed to be "universal." I bought two to go with my Mitsubishi.

From Amazon:
* Compatible with Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and Sharp Active Shutter 3D ready displays that use IR emitters.

WOW! All right, these are made of win then. Thanks for the verification!

I got these the last time they were on sale to use with my Sony HX820. They work well, but I found them to be a little snug fitting. They fit my nephew though and he's mainly the one who wears them now when I watch stuff or play games in 3D.

From the reviews I figured they would be too small for me, but may be better for girls or children.

I think I'll pick up a pair on my way home from work.

But am I the only one that find these glasses to be uncomfortable? I definitely feel a sharp edge on the bridge of my nose when wearing them unless I get them positioned just right.

They're not that tight for anyone with a normal to large face/head. I would say that they contain more plastic along the rims and therefore are less flexible than the second and third generation Sony 3D glasses. Personally, I love the current Sony titanium model glasses as they are super light, but they are also close to $100, so for $20-$30, these glasses are perfect.

Thanks OP for the info, might get a pair at kmart tomorrow in the city.

Even Sony's official site lists them as universal IR glasses. I read the Best Buy reviews and a few of them mention working on Panasonic 3DTVs including my model, so I went ahead and ordered the max of 3 for in-store pick-up. Looking forward to finally/affordably being able to invite more than one friend over to watch some 3D movies. Thanks, OP!

found 2 at Kmart just now for 19.99 each

Thanks. Gonna pick these up to try. Need some rechargeable ones.

Wanted a third pair, now I got 'em. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I got a pair of these for my Sharp Aquos from Target (online return, super cheap). They feel cheap and are very light, but they work fine and don't buzz like my first party glasses. They also recharge with standard Micro USB cable, which is nice. Grabbing another set today.
