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.

Like him, all I'd fight for is a refund. Amazing he managed to get a free console.

He does not deserve this in any way, shape, or form. This moron knowingly purchased the picture because the title and description of the item said PICTURE ONLY, NOT CONSOLE.

Oasis What happened to him buying it for his son? Knew it was a lie.
This scummy idiot deserves nothing, he's probably on benefits.



On the main article on the Nottingham Post it does say that it's for his 4 year old son McKenzie for christmas


He sons name is McKenzie? As in, Mckenzie the clothing brand? FML


Your **** joking, right?


You don't get your 4 year old an Xbox One. You get a 4 year old a damn gameboy or DS. You say it's "for" your 4 year old, when in actuality it is for you.

Gigahertz Nice to see the lad finally getting an Xbox One. He looks so happy in the picture. Some really nice people in this world.


It's great to see companies doing things like this. It all balanced out for the guy in the end i guess

I'm going to pretend to be a spastic aswell, then buy a fake xbox one and get a real one plus a refund...Seems legit

Ever
Lia I really don't think he deserves the Xbox One, it's his own fault that he bought a piece of paper rather than the console it self.


How was it his fault? It's not like he knew he was buying a sheet of paper in the first place?

If you were scammed out of that much money you wouldn't be saying what you said.


Actually he did know. He already admitted he noticed the word 'photo' in the listing title. But he wanted a Xbox One so much he risked it, the fact that people like this exist is shocking.
