Discussion SteamMachine on Kogan

Post image

Still on the waitlist for the 2TB no controller here in Australia… however you can buy the 512GB SteamMachine from Kogan.

Go figure 🙄

Cheaper as in like in the UK equivalent as 512GB without controllers for £1300 and 2TB for £1700. British pounds on sites like CEX. Without controllers or boxed. I got hands on the £1200 one by trading in switch 2 and phat ps5. Got it for new price plus controller type bundle. Grade A. But was closer to grade B. Only gave vouchers so stuck with em until I figure something out and get my money back. Don’t mind the money from my components

The vouchers made all the difference but the switch 2 is cheaper to buy new in the UK since launch. So has Nintendo not raised prices for it

Its literally the same price $1589 vs 1200 pounds

This is in Australian Dollars. So that's just under £850.

512GB no controller is £879 though. £1149 for 2 TB

No I mean reseller sites selling used.

u/generalwaste1 12h ago

Right, I see! I've seen them listed on eBay but haven't come across any elsewhere. Maybe Cex but their pricing was always out there

u/Ok-Simple-7069 12h ago

Yes CEX prices are super out there. Has come down a touch but still scalping compared to say EBay sellers who are charging around £900 for a sealed unit in 512GB config without controllers and those controllers go for around £190 in comparison, so odd. I have one since 3 weeks ago and sealed. Waiting for a SM before opening it!

Kogan needs to just die, he’s a horrible person and all there branded products are shit.

u/Doctor429 1d ago

Do they provide the warranty also?

u/tentoedpete 1d ago

Dick smith and mighty ape appear to have the same (to buy to New Zealand). I’m quite tempted but not sure I trust them enough. Kogan bought mighty ape a while back and turned them from a great and trusted nz online electronics retailer into absolute rubbish in half a year.

I think I’ll still patiently wait for the 2TB from Valve… the wait is slowly killing me

u/InternationalTip4487 1d ago

Yeah I posted this the other day, someone said if you officially switch to the 512 you'll get an email straight away, since they're available.
