This guy will have to wait for his younger brother.
It was available to buy starting noon local time. I refreshed the page until the buy option became available, but kept getting an error when submitting payment. Waited about half an hour and now it’s sold out. Ni modo I guess.
I had no issues here in Australia either, almost also forgot about it, but was having a coffee at work and ordered it on the steam mobile app. I’m pretty sure Valve have a warehouse for our region, its why we still have stock of the LCD steamdeck is still available
It’s weird, usually being in AU is horrible for tech, but in this case it’s good we live here?
