Man who purchased Xbox One photo for $730 gets free console

4.6
19-year-old Peter Clatworthy made headlines last week after he purchased a badly printed picture of an Xbox One for more than the actual console is worth.

While Clatworthy has already successfully pursued a refund thanks to PayPal's buyer protection guidelines, the chances of getting a new Xbox One unit before Christmas weren't looking positive for the Nottingham teenager.

Well, for anyone losing sleep over what wil go down in history as The Clatworthy Conundrum, here's some peace of mind: British retailer CeX has given our bumbling hero a free console.

When reached by the Nottingham Post for comment, Clatworthy said he was stunned by the response his predicament has triggered.

"I'm just overwhelmed by the reaction to the story," Clatworthy said. "All I wanted was a refund. I cannot believe this."

What a beautiful ending to a tragic story.

He still spent more than 500$ for the console. Should've threw in a few games and a turtlebeach headset. Glad to see he actually got an Xbox One though, he is really lucky.

xxRider702xx He doesnt deserve the xbox. He should be happy he got his money back.


Mad Bro? why doesnt he deserve it he never asked for a free one you would have taken a free xbox one anyday


Please, he bought a item of ebay that clearly said photo, his story went world wide (it's was in the news here in Australia) and to make is story all sad and shit he added take he bought it for is son who isn't even old enough to know how to work the damn thing. I wouldn't be surprise if it was his plan all a long.
