This was also my issue with it. The sets I have seen only came with 2 pairs, additional pairs were $200 a pop. That's gouging and pretty ridiculous, it's almost as much as a pair of eye glasses. Te fact that you need glasses doesn't bother me as much as the cost. They need to bring the glasses down to what they hand out in the theatres. Cheap plastic frames, cheap plastic lenses, etc. Pick them up for $5 a pop. This way everyone can see and when they get broken it's no big deal.
I only have friends and pets and to me that's impractical, I can't imagine for families with kids (and kids friends coming and going). Right now it seems like way too much money for an occasional thrill.
