DUDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this is amazing news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting soooooooooo longggggggggggggg and I'm so getting one as soon as the sales go live!!!!!! Feel like I've been very patient and deserve a reward though with all the rumours about the Steam Deck 2 I'm not sure whether it's still smart to hold off... what kind of news do we have on that?

Quoting: Nod... and a big F you to NZ.

I keep thinking they might say "oh yea NZ too, we didn't think it was worth mentioning", but that hope is fading.

Oddly enough I think the Steam Deck's been a thing in NZ for a long time... I've got a friend who moved from NZ earlier this year and he said that he's had a Steam Deck since super early days (don't know whether he got it off a grey market or something though)

Yes you can parallel import and have been able to do so for a long time but you pay a premium and get no support or warranty. I want to buy it from Steam.
