Worst case, they could’ve sent it to me with DHL or something. That triggered me to finally do something instead of just waiting for Valve to start selling it in Norway, and since I have friends in US, I’ve come up with an idea to order it to their home address, and then pick it up on my next visit to US, which I already had planned in the next months. Nevertheless, I was waiting and waiting for something to change, and eventually something did: in October 2022 Steam Deck became available for purchasing without reservations. I live in Norway, and Steam Deck still isn’t available for purchase there ( and probably never will be, just like Valve Index).You couldn’t just buy it, as stock units availability was limited, and there was already a queue of several months of reservations.Valve has quite a reputation in my eyes, and so even I knew almost nothing about Steam Deck, except for its advertisement, I immediately believed that this is going to be a great device for gaming and was willing to pay for it right on the spot.īut that wasn’t quite possible to do when they began selling it on the 25th of February 2022 ( the next day after Russia started an actual war against Ukraine - a horribly coincidencial timing, it was like news from a different universe), because of two reasons: It is here mostly for myself to document the torture of waiting and overcoming “logistics” troubles.Įver since I had learned about Steam Deck existence somewhere in summer of 2021, I’ve been dreaming about getting it. This entire section is unlikely to be of interest for many, so I’d probably recommend to skip it.

And as many have already said, it does exceed all the expectations ( and then some). Yes, I’ve got my very own Steam Deck too. If you haven’t, then you can probably just go watch some more of your favorite titles on PS/Xbox/Switch/whatsthename instead of reading this wall of text.
If you play games ( actual games, not press-X-to-win blurry movies), then undoubtly you have heard about Steam Deck.
