    I think you meant:

    JPY 59,800

    > KRW 589,000 in Korea

    I'd expect you meant South Korea

      60k isn't a bad price, but weren't they already struggling to supply the western market due to high demand?

        Nobody has to say "South Korea" in this context, nobody thinks there's a market for Steam Deck in the land of Juche.

          Depends, if Valve builds them a high rise hotel in Pyongyang maybe.

            That's not the proper name of any country. I'd expect you meant The Republic of Korea.

              Commonly referred to as South Korea. If you look for "Republic of Korea" on Wikipedia, it redirects to South Korea.

                Same with Taiwan, its official name is Republic of China or ROC.

                At any rate, when do we get them in Australia!?!? Want to get my 5yr old son one for his Lego games and Sonic collection!

                    Apparently they've gotten through the backlog to the point where they can fulfill new orders within a month.
