Xbox Mini Fridge: everything you need to know and where to buy

techradar.com:

The Xbox Mini Fridge shouldn’t exist, but we’re thankful it does. It’s rare that a joke results in a genuine product idea in the video games industry, particularly when it’s made at a company’s expense. But that’s exactly what happened with the Xbox Mini Fridge, which is now available to buy.

* What is it? A mini fridge replica of an Xbox Series X

* How much will it cost? $99.99 / £89.99

* When was it released? January 2022

So how did such a seemingly simple idea come about? When the Xbox Series X was revealed to the world – with its towering, rectangular shape – users on social media quickly likened the console to a fridge. Microsoft, to its credit, embraced the memes poking fun at the Xbox Series X’s appearance and even went as far as to create a giant Xbox Series X fridge.

Soon, fans were clamoring for an Xbox Mini Fridge to be produced, and at E3 2021, Microsoft obliged. The company announced that an Xbox Series X Mini Fridge would release holiday 2021, and the rest is history.

A desirable collector’s item for any Xbox fan, the Xbox Mini Fridge has been in high demand ever since its release. If you’re interested in owning the “world’s most powerful mini fridge”, here’s everything you need to know about the meme-turned-reality product.

The Xbox Mini Fridge is available now. It was supposed to release during Holiday 2021 (that’s between November and December) but slipped to January 2022. The Xbox Mini Fridge is only available at Target in the US and Game in the UK, the latter of which faced supply issues that subsequently led to a delay.

The Xbox Mini Fridge costs $99.99 / £89.99. It’s worth noting that if you don’t pick it up from a store, you may face a hefty delivery charge due to the size of the unit.
