We received our HoloLens Development Edition from Microsoft, and well, we're pretty giddy. But before we set everything up, we wanted to give you all a look at just what you get for $3,000.

Let's get the plastic off and pull this baby out.

Alright, alright, enough of the box. Unzip the casing you get to the real deal.

Waiting for us was the instruction manual, a cleaning cloth, charging cable and power brick, an extended nose pad, and the overhead strap.
