It sounds like you are describing a movie like Total Recall or The Matrix. I would love to see it happen, but I think it might be a few centuries away.
Demand would be huge if they perfected the perfect Sims game where you could live another virtual 'Real Life' and retain all of the memories of it. What to be a rich guy, go on a killing spree, have an orgy, and other stuff you fantasize about, but wouldn't do in real life.
But, how do you know we aren't living in that virtual world right now... Al you would need to do is perfect replication of all five senses in the brain and hook up the body to an umbilical cord to provide oxygen, water and nutrients. Building a massive supercomputer to run everything might be a challenge though.
