minus-squarevividspecter@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-228 days 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-squareCreat@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·28 days 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-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up6·28 days 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.
