If you try to order a unit on Steam, you'll be met with the frustratingly vague notice that "this item is not available for reservation in your country." The Steam Deck doesn't currently have a release date in Australia. When is the Steam Deck's official release date in Australia? Valve, we're begging you: start shipping to Steam Deck to Australia. Should you buy a Steam Deck in Australia via a third-party seller? It's a risk, and it's more expensive than what the eventual RRP will likely be. Steam Decks sold via any other websites or retailers are unofficial - please be careful." "A quick note that the only official ways to purchase Steam Deck are directly from Steam (in the US, CA, EU, and UK), or from Komodo (JP, KR, TW, and HK).
