"In order to "soften the blow" to our customers, we will be increasing the price by about $65/day over the next two weeks in order to end up matching the eMagin MSRP." Today it's alreay $685 ! Guess they're trying to improve their margin ;) aha, they are also increasing the price!

The visor is still selling at tekgear.com for $549. They bought a lot during the initial rollout and are stuck with them. They also sell one on ebay every two weeks or so you can get one cheap (relatively) if you want - but keep in mind eMagin is going under so you won't get any support If you are intersted….
