Steam Deck can now be purchased without reservation, Dock is now available

KingVamp · Oct 6, 2022

Well, that's 2/3 good news. No device should have the cord connected permanently like this.

AkiraKurusu · Oct 7, 2022

Can it now be purchased in Australia though?

Olmectron · Oct 7, 2022

*in selected countries.

Please specify it's still available only in some countries. This is an international forum, after all.

I mean it has gigabit ethernet, display port, hdmi, and the USB ports are USB 3.1 Gen1.

USB 3.1 gen 1 is just USB 3.0, renamed. Should have been USB 3.2 gen 2, at the very least now that USB 4 is out.

I agree but, at the same time what would you need a USB of that level for?

It's worth noting that you can purchase it in countries where it was already available for reservation.
Countries which didn't have the option to reserve one still remain the same.

Yeah. I'd like to purchase it. I have my ways on how to ship it. But steam requires a validated account in the supported region. I can't make one even after using VPN

Steam deck's dock design is a fail in my books. That cable will break overtime.

Yeah same.
I would purchase one already if it weren't by the idiotic decision of locking up accounts to the country.
I can get easily ship it to the US and get it from there, but noooooo you have to wait until Mexico is in the list or you can't have it.

That can only mean sales have slowed down. The next step will be prices going down, hopefully.

They have to open up sales to more regions first, so I wouldn't count on that for quite some time. Especially considering they're probably taking a loss on each unit sold already, when comparable portable PCs are going for $900+.

Austria, i buyed it yesterday.

Oh boy!
415€ that i dont have

I´m selling now my old Stuff like my 9.00 PS4 with 2TB Storage... or Legend of Dragoon for PS1.

It includes a $25 power supply so the price is reasonable compared to similar docks. Although, I don't know why they didn't just sell it without for $65 since the Deck already comes with one.

Power supplies are easy to mass produce and their manufacturing costs are way less than $25. Bundling those useless things with the actual product raises the markup significantly. I also doubt excluding them would lower the price by $25.

The moral of the story is that you should be careful when applying common sense to economics.

Unfortunately, I can't even make any reservation for it in my country.
You think at some point it'll be sold in physical stores?

If it will be successful enough, why not?

RAHelllord · Oct 7, 2022

I'm hoping we will see a teardown of the dock within the next few days. While I'm able to fix a broken cable like that by just soldering in a new one, it would be really nice to know if the thing is connected to its own daughter board and can just be swapped out with just a few screws. Which would make the cable being permanently attached an actual non-issue since this way it's anchored so you can't lose it but still trivial to replace with a 15 minute investment.
