It's not cheap ($600~ for the middle tier of the product), but much cheaper than conventional mocap or building your own rig + software to record from it. Additionally there's a month long free trial if you just want to see what it can do. Also a substantial educational users discount.

Daaaaaaaang that is really nice stuff. I can probably get the kinects/playstation eye cameras from gathering around people IRL. The problem would be the software cost, however, with the 30% discount it should be (somewhat) affordable.
Thanks a LOT for this info! Its very, very helpful. If mocap is so easy, and the game will have quite a lot of action shots, this just might be the technique to go with.
