[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58172, member: 1"] Valve has given a warning to consumers to only buy Steam Deck handhelds from Valve themselves or through other official retailers and websites. "Hello, and happy new year! A quick note that the only official ways to purchase Steam Deck are directly from Steam (in the US, CA, EU, and UK), or from Komodo (JP, KR, TW, and HK),” Valve explained on Twitter. “Steam Decks sold via any other websites or retailers are unofficial - please be careful.” While Valve is being well-intentioned here, Twitter users in the replies have rightfully pointed out that Steam Deck handhelds are not officially available to purchase from Valve in certain territories. Places like Australia and Latin America are notably absent from the official list. One user explained that they had very few options other than to purchase Steam Decks from [URL='https://twitter.com/El_Escapista_/status/1612957977446846466']Amazon Mexico from sellers who were importing them[/URL]. Back in October 2022, Valve announced that people could now buy Steam Decks [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-no-reservation']without needing a reservation[/URL]. Hopefully, Valve is also working on ways to get the Steam Deck officially into more markets as the replies indicate that there is still demand for it. Until then, consumers in regions outside of the official distribution list will have to either wait or go ahead and purchase from unofficial places.
