  Especially considering that warranty is usually region-locked. You usually can’t claim warranty from outside of the country where you bought it.

  So if your friend in France has to claim warranty, they’d have to first ship it to Canada so that someone else (e.g. you) can do the warranty claim for them.

  Also, warranty is usually region-locked, even if the device is not.

  Buying a steam deck in Canada usually gives you warranty in Canada. So of you then use the device in France and it breaks, then you have to first ship it to some friend in Canada, so they can do a warranty claim.
