Xbox Series X Fridge Meme has become a real thing

Both the Xbox Series X and Sony PlayStation 5 have new, larger, and more vertical designs, and both have received a ton of jokes and criticism. Instead of sweeping these under the rug, Xbox seems to have embraced its new console’s connection to a refrigerator in several ways. Aside from Microsoft just accepting the meme and going along with it, it seems that Microsoft actually decided to turn it into a real thing. Not exactly shocking when you come from a company that makes console-themed onesies.

When the Xbox Series X design was revealed in March, the internet was quick to access it and create a meme. Perhaps it was indeed a spur from the marketing genius that Xbox rode this wave, comparing the size of the Series X console to a giant black refrigerator. More than half a year later, Xbox took this meme to extremes.

The famous YouTube iJustine received a gigantic package that, after a painstaking unboxing, revealed a larger than life Xbox Series X box that was an exact replica of the console’s retail packaging. But instead of just keeping a giant replica of the console inside, Xbox iJustine actually sent in a perfectly functioning refrigerator designed to look like an Xbox Series X.

The similarities don’t end here, however, and the attention to detail in replicating the console on a larger scale is definitely impressive. From the lighting to the sound effects, this is definitely a recreation Xbox fans would love to have in their homes, provided it even fits.

Unfortunately, only such a fan can take one home with them. The YouTuber reveals that only three such Xbox Series X refrigerators have been made, one of which is now on rapper Snoop Dog. The other is reserved for a raffle that Xbox fans are dying to take part in.
