Pushing boundaries?

Maybe if you could push them beyond the United States you'd get more content developed for these amazing devices.

5 Stars of Saltiness short sighted tea sippers

I am grateful Microsoft is an American company, and I reside in the same country as their headquarters. With liberty and justice for having to realize Trump is in the White House, I hope to put on this headset and augment my reality so he's back to failing at business that is not important to me. BTW, if Burberry was to send samples of cologne, or ugly trench coats only to UK residents, WIGAF? Nope.

Might be a 5 star review if I could order it

Very disappointed that as a previous developer of a mixed reality app for Windows Phone I am not able to order this developer kit in the UK. Poor Show Microsoft!

I can order this in the USA!

Excellent deal! I can order this in the USA... because it makes so much sense to leave a review about being able to (or not able to) order a product where you live.

No way for a UK developer to get hold of one!?

Seems really short-sighted. What's the thinking behind this limitation?
