Thanks for the changes to the article, DESeigel. I was about to mark the article as a stub, I just wasn't sure what category to place it in. You beat me to it! I could have named the external link, but I just left it there temporarily, until I could find some better sources of information.

Perhaps I'm not the right person to write an article on this product, but I'm always disappointed when there's nothing in Wikipedia for a certain topic, company, or product, or when there's a link to an empty 'edit me' page. Wikipedia is one of those few information sources on products that isn't (usally!) a sales pitch - you wouldn't find this in Encarta or other traditional encyclopaedias.

I don't actually mind if this article or any other useful one is a stub - it's better than broken Wikilinks which give no information at all. Personally, I would archive useful stubs voted for deletion, rather than deleting them. Hide them - or even stubs entirely - from the rest of the encyclopaedia if you have to, but keep them. You never know who will need the information in the future, perhaps to write a better article. quig 17:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

I found a pic of the glasstron on Sony's website here. I won't post it to the site, though because I'm unsure of the copyright status. There is no copyright information on the page (actually there is a links on the page to download a high res or low res version of the pic, so I doubt it's copyrighted at all). I will, however, leave it up to someone more knowledgeable in the area of copyright to decide whether or not it can be put on the article. If they do, I can post it, or they can to speed things up. --JTConroy88 07:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

On second thought, I'll just put the picture in the article, and if anyone thinks it violates copyright, they can take it down.--JTConroy88 07:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Best Picture

edit

Thanks for the above person for posting an image of the actual glasstron glasses, even if it's from sony's site. Does anybody have a high resolution, or homemade picture that they could post? I think it would be a good contribution to the site so people can see it in the flesh, that way. Anyways, thanks!

Optical Illusion?

edit

The article is okay, but what does it actually DO, and why is it in the Optical illusions category? --David —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.243.75 (talk) 23:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

In the first paragraph it talks about the "Visortron" being different from "Glasstron". Then, in the list, the first entry is the PLM-50, which is the model name of the Visortron. So is it different or the same? Which one? --95.89.81.91 (talk) 22:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
