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.

I would've been so mad if I got a photo. Glad to see it turned out well for him.

He got a refund, he didn't really need to get a free console

Woof Not being bitter or anything, but if he got his refund, why does he deserve a free Xbox One more that anyone else?


He doesn't lol but at the same time he also was screwed out of $700

Kizah95 At least he got one and didn't end up being completely screwed!


What he doesn't know its that inside the box has an Xbox One but a photo of a Kinect and a controller.
