[Me getting slowly skeletonised as I wait for any whiff of a hint that the steam deck might one day be available for purchase in Brazil]

Maybe there are some super expensive (but still affordable) delivery options from US?

I have looked. And sadly no. Usually whenever a product exists there is some way of getting it imported over here, even if it ends up costing a fortune and a half. Re-sellers that buy from the US or China in bulk and then sell it here. One of my mates had a Steam controller acquired through one of those.

But every month or so I'll go on MercadoLivre (it's Latin American e-bay, for the gringos reading this) and snoot around for importers that might be selling the Steam Deck. And it doesn't even seem to exist there.

I should say that it doesn't help that Valve named the d**n thing 'Steam Deck'. Because you know what happens when you search 'Steam Deck importado' on Brazilian shopping sites? You get a bunch of misspelled listings for the ElGato Stream Deck [impotent anger sounds]
