Australia?
Nope. There's lots of 3rd parties sellers here but the prices are marked up and not worth it. Steam is really slow though in rolling out availability worldwide...2 years and still counting.
Norway?
There's like 160 more country names you could go through. The SteamDeck has really low global market availability.
Yep, I'm just shouting out my country because it checks the points.
It's a country which isn't usually far behind to receive technology, but for some EU/EEA-reason, Steam doesn't really have Norway on the list of countries to include for physical products.
Also, we have a few third-party sellers with 50-100% markup, which is lovely.
But I'm sure it's similar elsewhere.
Sometimes the downside to robust consumer protections is that you don't get all the stuff. Norway has a guaranteed five year warranty that likely impacts profitability of compliance for some products.
Well... I wouldn't cross my fingers for some of those countries ... Like not saying they will not sell it in more countries but some will never get it
