And yet exactly 0 Steam Decks are available for purchase in Australia.
You have my sympathy. If I could change two things about Valve's handling of the deck, I would make it available in more regions and make SteamOS available for other handheld PCs.
I've heard that while it's not exactly SteamOS... ChimeraOS gives a very similar experience, should you own one of those Windows handhelds and don't want to use Windows primarily on it.
I think that's a great option for end users, but I'd really like to see it as an officially supported OS for these devices when purchased.
If nothing else, the companies could offer a version of the device without an included license for a discount, I think saving 50+ dollars up front and getting a better user experience would be appealing to a lot of people.
I got one of amazon.com.au in June. The price was pretty much the same as the direct conversion from USD, and it got delivered the next day. Obv a 3rd party seller but have been super happy with the purchase.
