i think you are thinking of the Acer VR headsets ?!?!?
There is a Developer edition hololens which is cheaper than commercial edition
There will eventually be a consumer version, as far as I'm aware there has been no official statement regarding it's price. For now, the only version that exists is the developer version, and due to low batches and other factors (potentially to dissuade consumer users from buying), it's price is higher than the final consumer version. For now, best I can tell, they're releasing the technology to get applications developed for it, as well as working out hardware and software bugs, before they go and release the finalized consumer version.
