Adding salt to the wound, disheartened gamers have found their prized console on eBay. The catch, however, is that they are listed for at least double and triple their original price.

What is interesting to note is that the concept of this mini-fridge started off as a complete meme. Skittles and Xbox had engaged in an online brand war on Twitter. And now we’re here.

Here’s hoping all those who want to get their hands on the item will be able to do so.
