I was wondering, is there any reason why I should buy the Steam Deck abroad in France instead of in my home of Canada?

So I (Canadian) am surprising my friend (from France) with a Steam Deck in October when I go visit them. It will just be the cheaper LCD version, since they won’t care about (or notice) the difference in quality.

Aside from buying adapters for the plug, I literally can’t think of a reason why I should buy it directly in Europe as opposed to getting it in Canada. It would be a lot easier since I can have it delivered to my address, don’t need a specific day and time for it to be delivered, don’t have to deal with any issues of ordering things in a foreign country (sometimes you need to have a local address to order and have things delivered, etc)

That said, I wanted to still check and see if there’s something I’m forgetting or just outright unaware of. I know there’s specific power requirements for the Steam Deck, but mine worked just fine with an adapter when I was last there in January.

On a little vacay in Istanbul. This cat came to hang out at a restaurant down the street. He pawed my thigh, I thought he was gonna jump on me to ask me for pets and food, but I had no food left. I told him “sorry buddy I’m outta food.” Turns out he knew & was just pawing my thigh to move it so he could leave and find his next target.

I’ve seen people give full meals to this cat, he’s well fed.
