Shoutout to Unlucky Steve who made this happen by paying $1000 to get one from the US a few minutes before the announcement.

Luckily we've had grey imports for a while that were pretty much only a few $100 more.

"a few hundred more" for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that "lucky".

I paid A$1,189.00 for the 1TB OLED one, Valve will be selling it for A$ 1,049.00. To me, that wasn't a huge difference, especially considering there was no indication Valve was ever going to sell it here.
