Isn't the EU price pre-vat?
VAT is 21% at least in romania. That would knock it up to about $1210. It's a ridiculous price for what it is.
I love steam but that thing just isn't my cup of tea.
Edit: I got lost in the currency conversions.
nah, prices in the eu must always include vat
Everything here always includes vat, including steam
Not for me it isn't, at least when I tried to check out the Steam Deck 512 the price stayed at 779€, so for the machine it should be the same. I agree the price is way too high, plus I have 22% VAT so it would be even worse for me lol
