Xbox Series S Toaster Drops To Lowest Ever Price In The UK

I would rather Microsoft focus on making quality games and not tacky trinkets like this. The worse being the Xmas tree decoration.

I doubt these toasters sell that well hence the reduction in price. People probably buy and use it once as a novelty item just like the mini fridge.

@Kooky_Geezer Yeah. I don't know why they had to assign all those game developers away from their usual jobs to go work at different companies build toasters, mini fridges, cakes, and Christmas tree decorations.

It would have made much more sense for Microsoft just to have given existing companies that make these novelty items a license to use their IP in return for a cut of the profits and get a bit of fun publicity for the brand.

@PhileasFragg
It doesn't change the fact that they don't make much money making tacky novelty trinkets that people are not interested in. Does nothing for brand awareness and certainly won't increase their market share. You won't see Sony or Nintendo doing pointless stuff like this.

I waiting for the combo
Bra and panty set, of course Series XXX.

@Kooky_Geezer nope, definitely won't see any playstation licensed alarm clocks or larva lamps

How do i get this deal while living in the US?

yeah but can it fit 2 slices of warburton's without leaving the top halfs completely untoasted?

@Kooky_Geezer I have some Xbox and some PlayStation pajamas. I like to wear the bottoms of one with the top of the other just knowing it will annoy some people if they could see.

@Enigk I used to work in a bookies in the late noughties and we had a regular who bought a Man United top and a Chelsea top, cut them both in half and sewed them together and wore it nearly every day. I asked him why he did this and he was like “dunno just funny seeing peoples reactions”. Your comment reminded me of this and I very much enjoyed it.

I think I can live well without having to pay the priveledge of being advertised to by my breakfast

@GeeEssEff I like the sound of that guy. People get upset about the most pointless things when their energy can be better pointed elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft has very little with branded stuff outside of their main wheelhouse and just agrees to make it official when someone asks for their approval.

@Kooky_Geezer "You won't see Sony or Nintendo doing pointless stuff like this."

You're being ironic, right? Please tell me you're being ironic.

@Kooky_Geezer "You won't see Sony or Nintendo doing pointless stuff like this."
Is that so ?

@Kooky_Geezer Nintendo has their own theme park for heaven's sake. They churn out mountains of branded merchandise of every conceivable type and quality every day of the week.

Nintendo even licenced Sandisk SDs with the word Mario or whatever, that you won't ever look at after inserting them into the console and that cost twice as much as the regular ones, that are exactly the same but without the Nintendo logos and names. This toaster at least is joke marketing, a funny collector's item and cost the same as a regular one. Also, can't help picturing now all the Xbox Game Studios working on the Series S toaster...
