I am not saying anything just relaying info

seems that from what I have heard this is more viable for PS....

Yeah, Siemens had a prototype at CES too. But the eMagin one looks more impressive, especially the whole 105 inch display thing.

The price IS high, at $900, but bear in mind it has it' s own motion tracking tech in there too, along with all sorts of other stuff that push the price right up. I mean, how many do they really expect to sell at that price? Surely, it would be in their interests to partner with a games comany and reach a HUGE audience. It' d give them immense credibility, especially if they were the first to do it.

A scaled down version that just works as a visor would suffice. But i hear these things are compatible with 360 already, should you want to drop $900 on a pair. I REALLY like the idea of VR and i posted about it already, but more down to earth people have convinced me it' s not going to happen this gen.

Shame.
