Gunnar Optiks. I was skeptical, but my insurance company (VSP) is one of the few that actually accepts them, so I was able to get a prescription pair as my free pair this year :-D. I have to say, after trying them, I'm a believer. It could be a placebo effect, but I wore my regular glasses at work for a few hours today (I usually wear contacts) but I started getting a headache. Switched to these and the headache was gone. The yellow hue is not noticeable after a few minutes.
Nice. Are these actual gunnar frames or just gunnar lenses? I have VSP too and looking to get new perscription glasses.

Theres a place that carries them about 40 minutes away, I might try going next week.

Both Gunnar frames and lenses. You should have no problem getting them free with VSP. The store that I went to didn't have the frame I wanted, but they can always order them from the manufacturer.

That was quick. Thanks for the info, what frame is that btw?

I'd actually prefer getting the crystalline lenses as I do a lot of photoshop work. I'll try to get an appointment. :)

The frame is "anime". Kinda embarassing name, haha. I heard the crystalline ones are good if you work with media, let us know if they help out! My eyes actually feel like they adjust to the yellow tint after a few minutes, but I'm sure colors are a little more important when using photoshop!

Yeah, I use f.lux for regular use, but when I have photoshop on I disable it. Definitely helps with the eyestrain. I think I'd rather have non amber for use in classrooms and such without looking out of place.

I like the phenom frames in black, but it doesn't seem to have the crystaline lense. I'll look into it more.

I guess this is a topic for another thread. I think the last Gunnar thread got trolled though. :/

PS3+ Dell UltraSharp U2311H IPS.

Well you know, after being unemployed for so long, saving 500€ for my first current-gen console and a nice monitor has been quite an accomplishment for me. Also picked up Wipeout HD Fury, Demon's Souls and 3D Dot Game Heroes for cheap :D

I don't think showing pictures they care so much, it's the selling and giving to others that aren't in the beta that Microsoft frowns upon.

Nothing is different other than the formatting off the disc.

I'm not much of a fan of 3DSGH, but otherwise, great start. Hope you like the system!

Yes on other fan of TWTTG on GAF awesome! :D

Aww man, I need to get these. Sucks that nearly all of the Nostalgic Critic episodes aren't DVD friendly (though apparently it's a bit of a grey area how legally kosher they are online), but the DVDs would be very cool to own. Would love to hear the Kickassia commentaries :)

I'm assuming that's the elusive English language version of Izuma Eleven, right? If so, I'm jealous.

Yep. The manual is in Dutch, but the game is in English, even the cheesy theme song. Picked it up at an FNAC in Bruges, BE for 40 Euro.

Super happy to pick this up, don't really find things offensive in general, so I find this show hilarious.

What the shit... I am Prime now, but I used to order with Free Super Saver and it only took about 3-4 days, if that. Two weeks? :S

Depends on where your address is and what is on your order for super saver. One item usually ships quickly but two items more and amazon moves inventory internally for a few days to consolidate if the items are at different hubs. Sometimes this takes up to four days and then things ship out media or first class.

Deathly Hollows and a BDP-93 (kudos to OPPO on a fine product and packaging and giving you a HDMI cable, box for the accessories, and instead of using the white plastic wrap to wrap the player its wrapped in the bag)

Hold off on Meet the Robinsons, Nightmare, and Bolt until they're released in 3D. Wall-E and Ratatouille you can pick up for $24.99 minus an $8.00 coupon when those are re-released on July 5th.

You must have missed the mention in the Disney BR thread, but Sleeping Beauty is available from Newegg for $29.99.
