Well, it's not listed on the cover like it is on the DVD release.

I got my Part 1 Blu and 2 and 3 (reg DVD's) early... PART 1 is amazing!!!! I really hope they throw that much effort into the rest when they get released... Part 3 comes with the red/blue glasses and I just watched a little bit... pretty cool... I mean nothing like you see in the theatres... but for those who didnt see Part 3 in the theatres it give you a bit of an idea what was missed...

The glasses are kinda cool... they have the design of Jason's goalie mask on the front!!!

Except that in the theaters they didn't use headache-inducing red-blue anaglyph 3D. They used polarized lenses, like the ones used for My Bloody Valentine 3D (but made out of card stock, not plastic).*

* Okay, after further research, the original Friday the 13th 3-D used linearly polarized lesnses, whereas My Bloody Valentine 3D uses circularly polarized lenses. The only real difference here is that when you tilted your head sideways with linear lenses you would get double vision, and with circularly polarized lenses you won't. Still, Friday was not anaglyph, so this DVD is by no means a close approximation to what was seen in theaters.
