Following a Twitter brand competition that saw Xbox take top honours, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg, the company’s Xbox game marketing general manager, says that Microsoft will “move forward” with releasing an Xbox Series X mini fridge.

The fridge thing was good for a laugh at first, especially with how well the Xbox team embraced the memes that were going around, but it’s getting a bit tired. Do people still find it funny?

“We also wanted to simplify the hardware to align with the new Windows 10 design language that was being developed in unison,” he continues. “This simplification started with implementing a unibody construction that reduces the external shell count to just three parts. We also dramatically reduced the size of the device and removed the bulky external power supply. The final design is architectural, logical and easily accessible thanks to its surprisingly low price point.”

I’ve never been a fan of the Xbox but this thing is gorgeous. To be honest, I actually really liked the design of the original One as well, sort of reminded me of an old VCR, but this takes it to a whole other level.
