Xbox Series X Fridge Is Real, and Microsoft Is Giving One Away

There's even an official world premiere video for the kitchen monolith. Announced via Xbox's official Twitter account, the Xbox Series X Fridge is part of a sweepstakes that begins today and ends November 4, 2020 at 7:00 PM PST.

Microsoft recently sent Snoop Dogg an Xbox Series X Fridge for his birthday - as well as a number of other celebrities and influencers - as part of its marketing for the upcoming next generation of consoles. The black refrigerator is shaped just like the Xbox Series X (or is it the other way around?) and features a light-up Xbox logo in the top left corner, as well as what has to be the world's largest disc drive. The inside is fully illuminated with green lighting, because why not, right? [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://ift.tt/35DuK1G] Jokes have been circulating about the Xbox Series X and its resemblance to a certain kitchen appliance since it was revealed during The Game Awards in 2019. Microsoft even added a "fridge for scale" image alongside one the put the Xbox Series X next to a banana. Microsoft explained in an interview earlier this year that the design is in fact to help with cooling, not unlike a refrigerator. It seems the two have more in common than we initially thought.
