This is one of those things which seem cool and useful until you start thinking about it. And then the more you think about it, the more you realize how stupid it really is. This would be great in a theme park, but anywhere else... yeah, just stupid.
This is pretty neat, but $2000? Really? I'm sorry, but if you have two thou to spend on a clock, I've got a steel-tipped boot with your groin's name on it.
You would also consume resources from the real world, if only in the form of electricity, food, water, medical services, housing (though this last wouldn't be much if you were jacked in 24/7). What would you give back to the 'real world'? What would the 'real world's' incentive be to keep your virtual world thriving? There would have to be enough tangible benefit to support such a thing, or else those who were always in the virtual and never in the real would be nothing but parasites on the larger population they are inseparably a part of. Even if they could download their entire consciousness into that matrix, something would have to power it and maintain its servers...
