New technology is always expensive. If it's worth anything, it'll become more common and the prices will drop.

Yeah some one has to pay for their gift to the army.

Yup. I remember seeing this when it first aired. 6 years ago. Appears there were kinks to work out. Don't know if it will ever catch on though. The price will most likely always keep it from ever going mainstream.
