All of the things you would expect from a dock. Kogan currently has the better deals but you need to be signed up to Kogan First if you want the considerable discounts listed below (there's a 14-day free trial if you only need it for purchasing the Steam Deck). Lawrence Yang: Any USB-C dock that you can buy off the shelf will work with this and itll do USB, ethernet, and HDMI. Both websites offer fast, free shipping on various models. But there’s one thing worth considering before pre-ordering your own, and that’s storage space. For example, Valve’s Index VR headset didn’t arrive in Australia until two years after it launched elsewhere.įor now, your best option is to simply purchase it through Amazon and Kogan. The newly announced Steam Deck is a tempting deal, especially for a product that starts at 399. I thought the deck was too big but after playing a few different games it really isn’t. Coming from being a console gamer since the days of the Genesis, I’m really impressed with the hardware and software. That said, local availability for Valve products in Australia has been notoriously unpredictable in the past. I finally joined the Steam deck community Saw someone on marketplace selling a mint 64 GB model with the dock and was able to get it. That precedent, along with enduring dominance of EB Games as the go-to gaming retailer for many Australian communities, is one reason to hope that Valve might look at another team-up when it comes to launching the Steam Deck in Australi sofficially. Even though the original Steam Deck Dock from Valve had manufacturing and shipping woes which delayed its release, third parties have found the opportunity to capitalize and have released a number. As mentioned above, the Steam Deck is now available to purchase through various Australian retailers online but it still hasn't appeared in brick-and-mortar stores, like JB HI-FI or EB Games.Īt one point in time, Valve’s Steam Link streaming box and the accompanying Steam Controller were readily available and sold in Australia via an alliance with EB Games.
