It is showing as pre-prefer in Amazon. I preordered mine early this month and it is expected to be delivered in January 3rd. Can’t wait.
I live in an unsupported country however it is relatively easy and cheap to import the steam deck here, that’s not to say there are several things that make it complicated for anyone to just order it and because of that the price is higher here and that’s not going to change regardless of a new announcement. People that want a steam deck in unsupported countries will either find a way to import it or pay the higher prices.
I have that model, and it is working great. The only thing is that I ordered 2 and one of them was DOA, but Amazon replaced it. The only problem was that I had to go through Corsair support and they suck, they asked me for information and then stopped replying for like 2 weeks, at that point I contacted Amazon and told them what happened and they offered a replacement.
I also use Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered or Miles Morales to show off. I mainly use them because they look good, but also because I completed them both using the steam deck and have 100% achievements so I can tell them they do play great all the way through.
It is on pre-order in Amazon, mine is expected to be delivered on January 3rd.
