I've purchased two of the I-glasses (from your suggestion in Puyallup!)
and am slowly accumulating tapes, with some titles similar to your list. Like
you, I particularly like the lack of flicker due to having dual LCD 
"mini-TV's" that don't blank out when the "other" screen is being updated.
However, that said, the resolution is pretty low.  There is a double-resolution
I-glasses, but the web site says that it doesn't have 3D modes.

I just received the Ray Hannisian's Virtual Visit to NYC tape, as well
as "Santa Barbara Into the deep".  The same place on the web also had
a few other titles, including a show that had shown on HBO (in 2D), but
that one wasn't available any more (despite being on their web list).  :-(

I'm hoping to find a cache of the older titles around somewhere, looking
at them with the i-glasses is satisfying, despite the relatively low
resolution.
