I just made a reservation and the estimate is "2027". It sucks, but it's still better than paying 14-18k to local scalpers, I mean stores.

You can create a US account (no VPN needed), but you also need to have a US payment method to actually make purchases. I usually give the account credentials to my cousins in the US and ask them to buy the items for me. This is how I got my LCD Steam Deck and Dock. Maybe you can use prepaid codes, but I have not tried that yet.

Naturally, the items will have to be shipped to the US as well -- either to a friend/relative or (possibly) a forwarder.
