Microsoft HoloLens Dev Kits Shipping in Europe Next Month

Eager to show off your programming abilities on the upcoming Microsoft HoloLens? The development kit for the augmented reality headset is coming to Europe next month, and pre-orders are now available, but there’s a catch. The headset will clock in at a staggering £2,719 for the development kit, obviously, the retail number will be a lot less, but when we’ll see the official release remains to be seen.

HoloLens is about to get much bigger, with Microsoft looking to expand the development of the headset into more regions. Here are the prices you can expect to pay, although if you’re in New Zealand, it might not be worth the trouble, ouch!

• Germany, France, and Ireland: 3,299 Euro ($3,633)
• UK: £2,719 ($3,335)
• Australia: 4,369 AU dollars ($3,308)
• New Zealand: 7,829 NZ dollars ($5,527)

It’s obviously expensive, but would you be willing you buy one, even at this price?
