What is grey import?
Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’

I’d be happy to have the option to buy the first edition (from Valve and not a grey import with zero warranty) in Australia.

You buy what you hope is a genuine Steam Deck from someone who has brought it here from the USA for 🇦🇺$1,000.
Valve won’t help you if you have problems, because you are in Australia. Depending on who you bought it from Australian consumer protection laws might not apply.

Cant you buy it on steam from Australia?

Nope. Only on the grey market. To be fair, most grey market sellers if it do have a fairly robust refund set up cos Australian law dictates they must. But some of them will make you feel like you’re trying to get blood from a stone if something goes wrong…
