NGL the cube thingy looks so damn attractive to me, especially as I don't own any form of PC gaming...
Now please Steam, officially sell to Mexico god damn it!
I’ll buy you one and sell it. You gotta pay shipping to send it across the border. If the thing breaks, send it back to me in the U.S. and I’ll file a warranty on your behalf. I’m just a dude who wants other people to play games and have never done something like this before.
Dm me if you are interested.
This is (literally) the way a gamer should be. Cheers!
Someone else in here commented on how it took a while for the Deck to come to his country.
I almost asked him, but since you're the second one...I mean...wouldn't you be able to just get a Deck or a Steam Machine or whatever from anywhere and use it?
No warranty in unsupported countries, and from what I've seen of Valve's quality control you probably wouldn't want to risk that.
Wait, what? Care to expand on that?
I didn't even want to engage with a non official purchase of the Steam Deck yet for what has been already established here, and reading this kills the excitement even further 😅
My Deck definitely had its fair share of hardware issues when I got it. Ended up getting a replacement for a faulty GPU, but the WiFi card also had its issues and kept disconnecting constantly. It was a first year LCD Deck though, so maybe they're better now. I also used to be in a Steam Deck discord and the number of users reporting hardware (and software) trouble seemed fairly high there too.
Valve sorta makes up for these issues with above average customer service, but in an unsupported country I'd for sure avoid early adopting their hardware.
My Index has never been reliable. Not the headset, nor the controllers. I have given up using it.
