Probably due to partner supplier not having the coverage here...

Hopefully it's sooner so we don't have to parallel import it...

Logistically its a cake walk. China is a stone’s throw away from all SEA countries and is already a major trading partner.

Scalpers are raking in 60-100% over SRP on Steam Decks and GPUs atm so people are clearly willing to pay top dollar for latest PC tech

I'm also in SEA, but not in one of the regions that had it available for purchase on Steam. Steam Decks are starting to hit our local game store shelves now. The lowest model costs about $100 more, which is not great, but it's still a lot better when compared to the gray market which sells it at roughly twice the SRP.

I just got mine off Lazada.

I’m an American living in Philippines. Legit Steam Deck from GameExtreme.

Yes, it was about 125$ more for the base model, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I’m just happy, I finally have something to play PC games wherever, and whenever I’m not at my desk, so I can show the scrubs what they’re missing out being locked into Android or iOS.
