True, I imagine the big players think it's too risky to commit any

then everyone will be jumping to develop their own (better, cheaper) 
version.

Reading on wikipedia it is rumoured to be under $300, so hopefully about 
the same price as a decent monitor. This is why I'm holding off 
upgrading to a 3-screen setup for sim racing :-)
