Just in case you didn't get the memo, Star Wars is about to blow up all over again in a big way. The hype surrounding The Force Awakens is already unbearable, and that means that everyone wants a piece of the action. Sony's smartly buddied up with EA Games for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront, and now retailers are creating their own bundles for the PlayStation 4 release.
Take this one from Walmart, which comes with a hideous Han-Solo fridge. This author's knowledge of George Lucas' sci-fi series is limited, so we've no idea which movie from the original trilogy this is based upon – but we do vaguely remember the scene. The good news is that this mini cool box will not contain a preserved Harrison Ford, but a slot for you to slap six cold ones in while you're playing the game.
The set – which includes a Deluxe Edition of the abovementioned title on the PS4 as well – will run you $129.98, and is available for pre-order now. To be honest, we reckon that the retailer should be paying consumers to put this monstrosity into their homes, but Force Fever is a funny thing.

It would be much better if the front was actually molded plastic instead of them slapping a sticker on it and calling it good. It'll probably fall off after a few months.
To each his own, I guess.
Now you look here Mr Sammy. If you don't know the trilogy well enough to know what this is in reference to you need to jolly well sit down with the box set and watch it until you do! You basically have no right writing in a video games site without a good working knowledge of Star Wars.
Personally I think it's kind of neat. Looks a bit cheap and better in theory than in practice, but my flat is full of ugly boy stuff so it would probably fit right in.
Let's be honest, when it comes to collector's edition bonuses, it doesn't get much cooler than a fridge.
Doesn't one of the COD:BO3 editions come with a fridge as well?
Does Han Solo fall out every time you open it?
I have to echo RawShark. There is simply no excuse for not being well versed in, at least, The Original Trilogy. A good working knowledge of the Prequels, is also needed. Familiarity of the basics of Clone Wars and Rebels would be good, but not mandatory.
In essence, Sir, you have three films to memorize, three more to know, or you lose your Geek Card. And you cannot write on a Video Game site without one.
@Matroska Icee what you did there
