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.
Don’t forget Australia, please
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
Are you mistaking Steam Deck for Stream Deck?

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/

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