Yeah, they're neat alright, but I think I'll wait for 'em to go on sale before I rush out to pick one up!

I would imagine the 400K is for the entire system, rather than just the helmet itself. IR LED's are a dime a dozen, but to integrate them into an entire system - cockpit sensors to detect their orientation, the computer and software to translate that orientation into a "look direction", and the external cameras to make the body of the plane invisible to the pilot - all those things, and their integration together, are going to push the price tag up significantly.
