  We were playing on a rooted Gameboy Color.

  They’re not hard to get, but you would pay $1200 AUD instead of $899 which is the retail for the 512GB OLED, for example.

    Been telling folks for ages I’m not getting a steamdeck until I can give my money direct to valve.

      Yeah that’s fair. I caved for the LCD and again the oled. Have probably overpaid $650 all up over the last 18 months but its a great device.

        Do we have a rough idea for when the 2 will be coming? Id almost rather wait for newer hardware if it’s not too far off.

  I’m Australian living in Australia and thought we had it.

  I’ve met people with them and didn’t once get the impressions they were hard to get

  There are unofficial imports, but they cost more and you don’t get Valve’s great warranty coverage.
