I'm a little late, as I only heard about this after 11/10 on the Wikipedia article for this family of consoles. Cited at https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/28/21538654/microsoft-xbox-series-x-fridge-competition

The mere production of multiple, real functioning refrigerators based on the meme that the Xbox Series X looks like a refrigerator stunned me for real. The actual refrigerators are not a joke, really. Microsoft values them at $499, the same cost of a real Xbox Series X, but they cannot be bought, unless someone who got one is selling one. One of them has already been given away to Snoop Dogg, and another one was given away in a contest a few weeks ago. Though none of us are able to acquire one anytime soon, this product is nonetheless interesting.

At least going off of a youtube video where someone repaired an xbox fridge(tronicsfix) it seems like its just a huge case of shit quality parts.

The fridge's power board had a short

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
