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.

This is a considerably amusing end to a thoroughly amusing incident. It is great that the lad got a free Xbox One in time for the Christmas season, but damn, a free Xbox One for being one of the biggest idiots of the year?

Kizah95 At least he got one and didn't end up being completely screwed!
He got is money back so he still could have bought one.

Yop I wish I had bought a picture of a Xbox One on eBay
I would think that he is a special case due to all the publicity that he got. If you bought a picture of an Xbox One on ebay you will likely just be out of pocket.

2DSLotButtershy Well, he may not be the smartest person.
At least he didn't blame anyone for his mistake.
He still shouldnt have been given a free xbox
Its called being nice. Chill dude.
If you screwed up and got offered a free console I'm sure you would take it, would you not? I know I would.
