Just curious if anyone has one of these or has tried it and what you thought ? i love my gadgets and this looks like fun, but im wondering if i can use it with glasses on, or maybe I dont need to because my short sight is fine

Also does it do 2D very well and what can I input into it, like my HTPC ?

Interested in this myself, my local Sony centre doesn't have a demo unit so I was thinking of ordering one from the Sony website and sending it back if I dont like it.

Thats a shrewd plan, distance selling regulations !

Never been able to find a buy/add to basket button on the Sony website, where is it?

Just bought a new one from the states, £520 delivered via USPS Express mail. Hopefully I'll avoid import duty.

I tried one out at my local Sony centre. I have to say it was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever worn on my face, the viewing experience was pants too.

Suppose to be worn on your head not your face

Comfort seems to be a known issue but the image quality is excellent apparently. Maybe you had a bad source.

Are your eyes not part of your face? If not, can you post a picture of your weird face.

I didn't say the image quality wasn't good. TBH I didn't notice the image quality, I too distracted by how annoying the whole thing was. Looking at two tiny screens inches from your eyes was nothing compared to sitting in front of a big screen.
