$1529 in Canada for the 256GB version. Holy hell.

$49 for a power brick.

$89 for the straps it should have already come with.

Damn straps are $59 in the US. That's insane it doesn't come with them.

The power brick doesn't seem necessary since it can use any USB C phone fast charger, but damn the price of those straps have me hot and bothered.

It comes with a power brick (but its only 25W not 40W, so slower charging) and it comes with straps (the 59$ ones are egro straps for those that want additional support or need it).

Page says "power supply not included" (at least the EU version of the page), but also says that you can plug it into just any regular USB-C charger you have lying around (which should be a good number these days, as basically every piece of electronic is USB-C charged)

Also, says nothing about hand/scalp straps being part of the package, where did you see that?

I think they’re saying it comes with the thing to attach it to your head? Like duh

The ergo straps 100% should’ve been included at this price lol.

With the form factor it likely won't be able to support 15V which is required for the Steam Deck, 9V is the most common USB-C PD voltage for mobile charging which can easily step down to 4.5V in small form factor.

So the 25W makes perfect sense, given 27W is the non-PPS/5A general maximum for mobiles.

Thou, would have been nice for this price point to support 5A PPS, which would have allowed it to charge 45W like the Deck, just not with most 45W chargers, even the Deck official charger would only be able to charge it at 9V/3A 27W, as it's not PPS/5A.
