How about sell out in Australia. I mean it'll be 2 years old before we know it, and will we want one then?

Basically every Valve hardware after the Steam Link and Steam Controller, the only way I could get one is by scalpers and that's a big no.

I'd be fine buying the controller but fuck no am I buying a steam deck with zero support or warranty.

At 300% it's price if you are lucky

Kogan sells them, as they have offices in Australia you should have some semblance of protection

Yeah, the Steam Decks sold by Kogan (as opposed to 3rd parties that are also sold on Kogan) is the safest bet.

I was a little too impatient and bought a 64GB model from a 3rd party on Catch instead. I got it about 1.5 weeks later and it's been pretty great so far (roughly 8+ months). I think I waited about 2 weeks before upgrading the storage to 1TB though...

You said what I came here to say.

If the steam deck 2 is announced before the Australian release - im waiting for the 2.
