CTRL+ALT+DEFROST: The even BIGGER Xbox Series X Compact Fridge is now available for those who can't pause their hunger
Yes, it's possible to get too excited about a fridge, but here we are.
I love my Xbox Mini Fridge, but I'm now getting serious envy for this latest addition to the family. The fridge family has grown to three, with a new super-sized model joining the original and the smaller version that's closer to the size of the actual Xbox Series X console.
Spotted by Idle Sloth on X, the artist formerly known as Twitter, it's quietly been slipped out and is currently listed at Walmart for $198.

It should also be said that the $198 price currently listed appears to be a discount, too, from $250. So if you're interested, it'd be best to act fast.

🔍Hands-on review: The ice-cool Xbox Series X Mini Fridge is a first-class addition to any gaming room
A Walmart Plus membership isn't required for this deal, but it's worth grabbing one if you want to get the best deals at Walmart. Members get early access to deals, free grocery delivery, free shipping, and several other perks.
A gimmick, sure, but what a gimmick
It started as a meme. It became a reality. There's been a MASSIVE Xbox Series X fridge, but then for us mere mortals, a mini fridge we could actually afford. And use in our homes without fear of divorce.
Yes, it's a massive gimmick, but it's fantastic. I have the now middle-sized Xbox Mini Fridge in my office, and I love it. It looks amazing, and it's cold enough to chill some beverages and snacks while I work. You're not keeping your steaks cold in this thing, but it was never designed for that anyway.

What it is, is the best accessory for the Xbox fan. Or the Xbox fan in your life as a fun gift going into the holiday season. I'm not sure if I can justify (or have the space for) this new, larger model, but I sure wouldn't be disappointed if I unwrapped it on Christmas Day. Just saying.
