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

THECARJACKER This is so **** stupid. This guy is an absolute mug who bought a photo on ebay when it was clearly stated that it was a photo. He then goes crying to the papers where they publish said story of him being illiterate. He gets his money back from ebay and alls well but then he gets a FREE **** CONSOLE?! What the ****? I actually can't stand this guy, he looks so **** smug in that picture it just takes the piss. The guy handing him the console is probably also thinking "why the **** are we giving this scummy ******** a free Xbox".
To top it all off he claims the Xbox is for his toddler just so other people can feel empathy for him. That is ********. It is so obvious that its for him not his son, who is probably playing on a DS. Cex have made a good move although for the wrong person to give an Xbone to, this is basically free publicity for CeX which is great for this time of year
Wow. So much swearing. Anyway, it did clearly say it's a photo and he whines so PayPal refund him his money back and CeX give him a brand new console? Absolutely pathetic!
