Microsoft to sell Xbox Series X mini fridge for 99 euros – Gaming – .Geeks

Microsoft is going to sell the Xbox Series X mini fridge for 99 euros and the black piece of white goods will also be released in Europe. Microsoft promised to start producing the refrigerator if users voted for the Xbox brand in a popularity contest on Twitter.

The mini fridge will measure 462 by 232 by 232 millimeters, bringing the volume to just over one and a half times an Xbox Series X and the console erin past. It comes equipped with a 5v USB port to charge a device and the device also has two shelves inside and two trays in the door, all of which are removable. Microsoft says itself that it holds ten cans, but the American on British outlets speak of 12 cans. Cooling does not go through a compressor, but happens thermoelectric. Finally, in addition to ac, there is also a dc adapter for on the go.

In this case, availability in Europe also means that the Netherlands can actually buy the refrigerator; the country is specifically mentioned in the announcement. However, Belgium is not mentioned, but ‘regional availability will be expanded in the course of 2022’. Sales in the Netherlands will probably go through Toynk on Amazon.nl, because the other outlets mentioned, GameStop and Micromania, have no locations in or sites for the Netherlands. The refrigerator is not yet available on Amazon. Pre-orders start on October 19 and the first copies should be delivered in December of this year.

Twitter organized in April of this year a popularity contest between different brands operating on the platform via polls. Participants included Skittles, Gatorade, Oreo, Airbnb, Spotify, MTV and more. In the last round Xbox and Skittles had to compete against each other and that race was pretty even up to the last minute. Xbox Games Marketing head Aaron Greenberg therefore threw in the towel on the promise that the Xbox mini fridges would be made if the brand won. It did so with 50.5 percent of the 340,000 votes. The mini fridge is a longer running joke; some think the console resembles such a device.
