We actually played with one at Gamestop last night. I was SUPER-impressed with the 3D effect, but we looked at the games and weren't impressed. However, OoT3D and StarFox643D will change our minds in a hurry.
Really? I'm a 3D nut/apologist and I wasn't that impressed with the autostereoscopy. Perchance it was because the Gamestop 3DS was tethered to the display- so I couldn't hold it as naturally or as steadily as I would have otherwise. But I found sublte shifts of my head to, at best, wreck the 3D effect or, at worst, invert it. It reminded me much more of a "3D" Slurpee cup or a "3D" TV Guide cover than actual 3D video (you know, with those horrible glasses). I'm not a fan of 3D glasses, but I guess I figure they are (and will continue to be for the forseeable future) better than any alternatives. It continues to surprize me what people are willing put up with just to avoid glasses.
I had to bend my body at an odd angle to see the display copy, and yes I guess it did remind me of the old type of 3D, but those cups never shot a Haduken at my face.

I was hunched over the low display, trying to see the effect which was difficult. I made a snarky comment to another guy in the store:

ME      : I guess this display is made for someone a little shorter than I am.
GUY    : Huh? What are you talking about?
CLERK: You can take it off of the stand. It's just tethered.
ME    : Oh. <gently pulls it off the stand> Yep, sure enough.
