I think I heard Carmack say that there would be a higher definition version as well, but that it would be (understandably) more expensive.

Yeah, it would be.
It seems they are trying to stay under 1000$.

From a post from PalmerTech (page 41 in the thread on MTBS):

"I hate to succumb to hype, but in an attempt to keep people from being to upset about the delay: Imagine an HMD with a massive field of view and more pixels than 1080p per eye, wireless PC link, built in absolute head and hand/weapon/wand positioning, and native integration with some (if not all) of the major game engines, all for less than $1,000 USD. That can happen in 2013!"

BTW, FYI there exists a 1080p HMD by Silicon Micro Display now too, for $800. A review here.

It's a narrow-FOV (just 45° diagonal) virtual-wall thing though. There are two displays, so the price may be indicative also for the final version of the Oculus Rift, should it sport 1080p resolution for each eye.

There is also a sony's one if I remember correctly.
