This is huge. Valve have never distributed their stuff down here, so hopefully we might see the Index at some point too.
Is there a reason for that? Or they just hate the place?
Likely shipping cost but I’m not sure
EB games is an official distributor for the index. Not sure if they’re in stock.
Plus like 50% tax right? Isn’t that how Australia works?
VAT in Australia is 10% (ref), but there are other things that effect the overall price (company’s obligation, regulations etc.)
The joke is we usually get outrageous markups on tech as we don’t have alternative avenues to source. We usually get gouged hard - I.e. the grey import steam decks have been often $300 more than what steam are launching at.
It comes with a free saltwater croc
Blimey!
Oh boy I can’t wait for it come to Brazil! Surely will happen before I die!
Just keep in mind that if you’re sensitive to PWM then you won’t be playing the OLED as a handheld : (
Still works fine when attached to a tv, it’s just not a handheld/portable anymore.
I should note that I love my deck, I’m just very sad that I can’t play it as a portable.
