That they make our dreams come true is a real delight and if that dream comes from a meme, happiness is double. Microsoft surprised the industry bringing to reality what began as a joke. Mini fridges in the form of Xbox Series X could be purchased so that we could chill our drinks at ease.
While the units in the fridge won’t start arriving until December, it is from today, October 19, when we can make our reservations from the refrigerator. It is key to note that the stores to acquire our unit in Spain are very specific, specifically we can only through Toynk. You can buy yours for 139.95 euros on reservation and it will be delivered from December 15, 2021.
At first, Microsoft indicated that Toynk orders would be made through Amazon, although this has finally been modified. This is the new message that the web illustrates, clarifying in a more concise way the purchase possibilities:
“We removed Amazon from this post as the seller of this product and clarified participating retailers. Toynk will sell it directly through its own online store. Please visit their website for the latest details on pre-order and product availability.”
Speculators freeze purchases
However, the situation is not very favorable in other territories. Microsoft has never specified that this product has a limited run; what’s more, it has specified that it wants to bring it to “the largest number of fans possible to continue expanding regional availability.” Despite this, speculators are beginning to emerge in eBay.
If we go to the auction portal, we find several units at exorbitant prices, well above the cost that can be found in official sales stores.
Looking at other stores like Game UK, the licensee in the country for the sale of the Xbox Series X mini fridge, we can see that the stock has been exhausted. The same thing happens in other stores like GameStop Italia, although they have better luck at the moment in GameStop Ireland.
They do not get rid of this problem on the other side of the pond, since for the United States and Canada Target has been in charge of carrying out the distribution. The fridge is also out of stock right now, so very few regions are currently able to purchase your unit.
