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.

WizKhlifa wow thats so lucky to get a FREE xbox one. Wish i got scammed on eBay so i could get a free one!


He didn't even get scammed though. He said that he had seen that is said "photo" but still went along with it. This dopey moron got what he deserved, but to get a refund AND a free console is a bit of a joke. The stupid need to die out.

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.
