Where to buy Valve Index in Australia?

[V I D A L]

I went to the hardware page on Steam and every single Index bundle says "Not available in your country."
Anyone in Australia got it? I obviously want to make sure I get Half-Life Alyx with it.

Thanks

I would be surprised if it doesn't become available in Australia before HL: Alyx launches.

Australian with an index here: ebay. Tons of scammer listings so ask for a picture with the sealed box and their username + date before you buy and expect a MASSIVE mark up by the time you add in customs + shipping + currency conversion. Also have some international power adaptors handy. (240v isn't an issue, the power supplies are all auto switching.

I take it you don't mean that ;) smugly but sarcastically.

We need it to be available in NZ/Aussie please! Don't make me buy a horrible Vive Cosmos

I wanted a Steam Link and the Steam controller, which were never available in my country.
Now just imagine if they release HL Alyx exclusive to Steam controller? I know it sounds dummy BUT, it is happening now, they are releasing a game for a hardware that isnt available outside the US and some european countries.

Unless you just want the exclusive stuff for Counter Strike and the VR home stuff, you can still play Alyx on other VR headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Oh man...
Well.. thanks. I may check it up on ebay, but still... very disappointing... I will do some research on it.

I checked some reviews and Index is, by far, the best headset available. I only go for the best when it comes to tech. I spare no expanses... I either get the best, or don't get it at all.

So why do you have an i7-4790k?

Because I got it when it was the high end. I don't buy outdated hardware.. but I keep them as long as they can deliver. I can play anything on ultra settings at 4k with my current hardware just fine, so there is absolutely no need to upgrade the CPU at this point. When I feel there is need to upgrade my CPU, trust that I will get the highest end CPU available. I always go to the top so I don't need to upgrade often. Why am I explaining myself to you?

Just get a Samsung Odyssey through Amazon its more flexible and I haven't found a game that doesn't work with it and its as good as the dearer options. Ive had all the others and this one strangely enough is the one i keep coming back to for hassle free ease of use.
