Any Financing?

I can afford one out-right, but $3k is still a bit hard to swallow. 
Is there going to be any financing options available to purchase a developer kit?

@th3tak3n,
Just so you aren't left hanging, I doubt Microsoft is in the financing business. And not that I'm advocating one way or the other, but there are credit cards with low initial rates that might work out for you.
One of the great things about the price is that you get to be pretty exclusive as a developer if you choose to buy one. The other thing is that if you are lucky enough to be invited to buy a HoloLens in one of the initial waves -- well, you are pretty lucky and not everyone is. I know lots of graphics and games developers, esp in Europe and Asia, who would love to be in a position to buy one even at $3000 right now.
