For much of the world, the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge has been something you could buy for over a year, while in other regions the drink cooler has yet to launch. Australia is one of those regions that are still awaiting the launch of the appliance, but it seems it might also be the region that has let slip the presence of an even mini-er mini fridge, if retailer JB Hi-Fi is anything to go by.
Quietly emerging on the retailer’s online store late last week was a listing for a new model of the Xbox Mini Fridge, one that is less than half the size of the already tiny appliance. The original mini fridge, a 10L device now dwarfs its younger and smaller sibling which stands a measly 37cm tall x 18.5cm wide x 18.5cm deep, and has a capacity of 4.5L. Below are all the key facts and figures for the new unit:

Interestingly, despite having yet to have been announced formally, the unit is listed on the retailer’s website to launch on September 30, 2022, the same date that the full-sized 10L mini fridge is due to finally launch in the country. There has been no formal announcement of the unit in other regions yet, though with this one due to arrive imminently, you can imagine that the appliance will be announced for other regions in the near future.
