minus-squareSavvyWolflinkfedilinkEnglish0•6 months agoShoutout to Unlucky Steve who made this happen by paying $1000 to get one from the US a few minutes before the announcement.

minus-square@vividspecter@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilink0•edit-26 months agoI got lucky and only paid a bit more than RRP, but you pretty much had to sit around and wait for a deal.
minus-square@Creat@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink0•6 months ago“a few hundred more” for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that “lucky”.
minus-square@jonne@infosec.publinkfedilink0•6 months agoI paid A$1,189.00 for the 1TB OLED one, Valve will be selling it for A$ 1,049.00. To me, that wasn’t a huge difference, especially considering there was no indication Valve was ever going to sell it here.
