Don't forget Australia, please

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jfc I thought it was shitty of valve to jot worldwide release everything, but missing Australia just seems a step too far

Australia fined valve over return policy. I think it's personal.

You can buy them from Dicksmiths or JB

there they are ridiculously marked up

Whoa what's wrong with the return policy? Steam (when buying games) has the most generous I've ever seen so I'm surprised to hear that

Hahaha, that's a fair question. I also realised later that jb hi fi don't stock the steam deck .. in aus. I had been looking at the nz page and made a poor assumption : https://www.jbhifi.co.nz/handheld-gaming-console/steam-deck-gaming-console-512gb/426726/

It also turns out whilst dicksmiths actually sells steam decks in aus they are now just a third party market place.

It does, however, support the point i had suggested - that the lack of steam hardware in Aus is a 'personal' thing, given that you can get them from a first party supplier in nz but not here.

Oh thanks! Learned two things today: I can buy a Steam Deck in Australia; and Dick Smith still exists.

South Africa too

Still isn't sold anywhere near India. Thankfully, a friend graciously volunteered to buy me one, Valve has SO MUCH meeting to do smh
