FULL STORY ======================================================================

Game has revealed that more Xbox Mini Fridge stock is on the way and that pre-orders are due to go live soon.

In an email to customers who already managed to snag Microsofts meme-turned-reality product, the retailer said: We wanted to inform you that soon we will be going live with pre-orders for our second wave of stock which will be arriving in January.

You do not need to do anything. Your pre-order is confirmed for the first
wave of stock which is still due to arrive in December.

Unfortunately, no exact time or date has been given as to when pre-orders for the Xbox Mini Fridge will go live again, so its worth keeping an eye on the existing product page and Games social media accounts for a more specific timeframe.

The Xbox Mini Fridge can hold up to 12 regular-sized soda cans and has two removable interior shelves and two removable door shelves for snacks. The
Xbox logo on the front of the fridge lights up, and theres a USB charging port, too. It costs 89.99, but youll need to pay 9.99 for delivery, so bear that in mind.

Xbox Series X mini fridge: 89 at Game
For those in the UK, the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge was available to buy from Game for 89. It only took no more than a few minutes for the initial allocation to be sold so we're waiting for Game's second wave to arrive.
Analysis: a genuinely useful collectors item for Xbox fans

Microsofts Xbox Series X replica mini fridge quickly sold out when pre-orders went live back in October 2021. Predictably, you can now find it listed on eBay for significantly more than its recommended retail price.

The news that more stock is on the way will hopefully deter consumers from paying over the odds for what is undoubtedly a real collectors item for Xbox fans, but also one thats surprisingly functional.

But how did the Xbox Mini Fridge come to be? It started off life as a running internet joke, as fans compared the look of Microsofts new console to a well, a fridge. Microsoft embraced the jokes, and the memes, and went as far as creating a lifesize Xbox Series X fridge , just for the fun of it.

Microsoft then said that it would design and sell an Xbox Series X mini
fridge if it won Twitters #BestofTweets competition, which it did, but only
by the narrowest of margins: 50.5% against 49.5%.

To encourage more votes, Xbox marketing chief Aaron Greenberg promised that Xbox Series X mini fridges would go into production if the Microsoft brand came out on top. And here we are.
