Have to say, that I really can't see pubs landlords being overly happy at the way 3d works in the long run or it being a long term success in pubs either.
Because if they give glasses out free, they will have to collect them back for future use (can't see Sky providing unlimited supplies of glasses) and if they charge for them, its going to be a real headache with people queueing up for drinks and glasses, and joe public being as tight as he is in the current climate won't want to pay £3-4 for a pair (as the cinemas charge), and I really can't see most punters remembering to take their glasses with them every time the go to the pub either!!
Its a good idea short term, but a non starter long term.
I've been wondering about this as well. The only thing I can see working is some kind of 3D TV glasses vending machine, a la cigarette vending machine, in the pub, maybe coupled with a slight downgrading of the quality and robustness of the glasses (to make them thinner when folded). Could then be dispensed for £2-4, with the pub maybe making a turn on them.
To make it slightly more eco-friendly, would need a re-cycling bin that would allow them to be sent back to Sky for re-packaging. Or maybe bio-degradable / recyclable...
