Congrats! Still waiting on a release in Norway :'(
Can get it here unofficially as well, but same case with high markup... about 2x.
It's brutal isn't it? Our markups were 'only' 30-50%, but I hate supporting that garbage practice. Hope you get a release or pick it up in EU travels, I did have a mate get his on a trip home to Italy.
Congrats, Australia! Hope y'all have lots of fun!
The official valve price is so good. I bought a Gray import and it was worth it a year or so ago when I bought it. Been absolutely great.
I bought some gray imports a couple of months ago. Cost me about $100 more than Valve's official AU prices, for the 1TB OLED.
My partner and I have been playing them both pretty much constantly since then. Very happy with them.
Thrilled to hear. Have you gotten any accessories for it?
I've been debating grabbing a decent battery pack as I have no functional ones, and a dock so I can steam link stream from the gaming PC to my TV.
Can't say im feeling the 3rd party cases, I think I'll stick with the Included.
I did pick the DBrand Kill Switch case (including. skin and screen protector) for both me and my partner. It was on the pricer side, but I'm pretty happy with it. Feels quite good to hold and certainly rugged enough to protect it. The skins also stop us from getting each others decks mixed up.
As for a dock, I picked up the Anker one and it's alright. Would have preferred the official one, but everywhere was charging a hefty price for importing it.
I already had a hefty battery pack for travelling. Haven't needed it much myself, but my partner recently made good use of it for an international flight.
