Hahaha, that’s a fair question. I also realised later that jb hi fi don’t stock the steam deck … in aus. I had been looking at the nz page and made a poor assumption : www.jbhifi.co.nz/…/426726/

It also turns out whilst dicksmiths actually sells steam decks in aus they are now just a third party market place.

It does, however, support the point i had suggested - that the lack of steam hardware in Aus is a ‘personal’ thing, given that you can get them from a first party supplier in nz but not here.
