It's Not a Console: This Xbox Series S Toaster Will Burn an 'Xbox Logo' Into Your Bread

It's not the Xbox console that you always see in gaming stores: it's just a toaster that will help you make a "toasty" breakfast.

Microsoft has transformed its Xbox Series S into more than just a gaming console. This time, it's not about gaming enhancements or cutting-edge features but a toaster.

Yes, you read that right, the company has ventured into the world of kitchen appliances, bringing the Xbox Series S toaster to the market when everyone can't imagine that it's coming.

From Gaming Console to Kitchen Gadget

Originally surfacing on French sites in 2023, the Xbox Series S toaster gained attention during the holiday season when it became available for purchase. It was recently spotted by @Wario64 on X.

Priced at $40, this unique toaster stands out not for its ability to play games but for its exclusive feature: it burns the iconic Xbox logo onto your toast.

While not heavily promoted like the Xbox Mini Fridge, the toaster has garnered interest and is currently available at Walmart.

Toasty Features and Specifications

Beyond the novelty of an Xbox-branded toaster, it offers practical features. Sporting a 2-slot design with a browning shade selector, the Series S toaster boasts an LED digital countdown for precise toasting.

In terms of controls, it outshines Microsoft's gaming console, featuring a variety of physical buttons and dials. The nostalgia-inducing design might remind users of classic game consoles, adding a touch of the past to your kitchen, per Gizmodo.

Size Matters: Larger Than the Console Itself

Surprisingly, the toaster's specifications reveal that it's not just a gimmick. It's larger in volume compared to the real Xbox Series S console. Standing on rubber feet, it deviates from the conventional brick-like shape of gaming consoles, offering a unique presence on your countertop.

Powering Your Memes: A Toast to Xbox Series X Legacy

This isn't Microsoft's first foray into turning gaming hardware into everyday items. The Xbox Series X, known for its fridge-like silhouette, inspired a limited-edition Series X mini fridge.

Although initially rare, these fridges are still available for those eager to cool their beverages in a sleek black box adorned with the Xbox logo.

During its debut, the Xbox mini-fridge units were sold out in just seconds. Apparently, the bots were discovered to be hoarding the supplies.

Debunking the Hot Topic: Xbox Series S vs. Toaster

While jokes have circulated comparing the Xbox Series X to a fridge, the Series S toaster brings a new twist to the narrative.

Contrary to assumptions, the Xbox Series S doesn't generate the heat needed to toast bread. With an average temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, it falls far short of the 320 degrees required for toasting, debunking the humorous notion that the Xbox is "hot enough to be a toaster."

Microsoft's Xbox Series S toaster adds a delightful and unexpected chapter to the gaming giant's journey, proving that innovation can come in the form of a kitchen appliance.
