It's an interesting idea. Once you've been wearing a regular helmet for a while, it's not too big of a step to going full-face.
I have a full-face mountain bike helmet I wear for lift-service DH, and while it's a bit bulky to ride around with, once you're on the descent it's not really noticeable. But the decrease in peripheral vision is typically offset by the fact that you don't need to keep looking around for other people. I'd be a bit more concerned on a ski slope.
Price wise- if you add up a regular helmet + goggles + face mask, you're spending about as much as one of these.
