Many have previously joked that the upcoming Xbox Series X resembles a fridge, and now Microsoft has fully embraced the comparison as it has sent an Xbox Series X-shaped fridge to Snoop Dogg. In a now-deleted post by Snoop Dog, that was saved by Wario64, Snoop shows off his new fridge that literally looks like a giant Xbox Series X, complete with a glowing Xbox symbol.
What's more, it was filled with an Xbox Series X birthday cake that says "Happy Birthday to the Xbox OG," an actual Xbox Series X, gin and juice in honor of his song, Xbox-themed jewelry, and more. He even ends the video by saying the classic EA Sports tagline - "It's in the game." Snoop Dogg is no stranger to Xbox and video games, as he was recently
put into NHL 20 as a playable character and commentator and, in 2013,
released his own game - Way of the Dogg - on Xbox Live Arcade, PS3, and mobile platforms. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/06/wtf-is-snoop-doggs-xbox-live-arcade-game"] He also recorded a song and music video in honor of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 called Knocc 'Em Down." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2012/08/02/tekken-tag-tournament-2-snoop-dogg-knocc-em-down-music-video"] Oh, and we can't forget the time he participated in one of our IGN Originals to give fans a look at what Snoop Dogg would like like in some of the most popular games of all-time. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2010/07/19/ign-originals-snoop-dogg-is-in-your-videogames"] As for the fridge comparisons, it all began when the
Xbox Series X was officially revealed. Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at Niko Partners, tweeted out a joke comparison of the Xbox Series X to the then-unrevealed PlayStation 5 that made it look like a fridge, and this may have helped start what has now brought us a lot of laughs. Following that,
Xbox leaned into the joke and even provided a look at an Xbox Series X next to a fridge for scale. Furthermore, it explained
why it looks the way it does and why it went with a new look for its upcoming next-gen console. The Xbox Series X, alongside the smaller, less fridge-like Xbox Series S, will both be released on November 10, 2020.
