Perhaps with the goal of including an exclusive PlayStation in the console wars, Xbox is now offering a new exclusive: bread. The Xbox Series S toaster is briefly available at Walmart, but it’s already sold out. You’ll be able to get it by buying it on eBay, but be prepared to pay a 225% markup on its MSRP of $39. 99, anything we strongly recommend you don’t do.
The Xbox Series S toaster is an authorized Microsoft product manufactured through Ukonic, which also produces Minecraft Creeper mini fridges and Mjolnir handheld tools.
The Xbox Series S toaster prints the Xbox logo on the bread as it toasts and would pair well with a glass of milk from the Xbox Series X Replica mini fridge. Although it was announced through Microsoft on January 4, it is now completely sold out. at the time of writing.
Less than 24 hours after the official announcement, the console toaster appeared on eBay and is selling for a margin value of about 225%; The auction is currently continuing. With a fairly respectable MSRP of $39. 99, some listings have recently sold for as much as $89. 99.
It’s a story that we unfortunately see when new hardware is released too, so I can’t say I’m surprised at all.
The toaster is adorned with a digital LED timer, a defrost button, a six-setting shade selector and a wide enough slot for a bagel. It might be wholly worth the $39.99 from Walmart, but whether it’s worth paying over double price is entirely up to you.
I might be outing myself by revealing this, but I do love dunking buttered toast in a cup of tea. It’s a shame you can’t connect the Yorkshire Tea Controller to this Xbox.
