The 19-year-old student, of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise Christmas present for his four-year-old son, McKenzie." "Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said he'd expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay." |
This story has been all over the intertubes today, and I originally thought it was a joke. Everything about it, even the little throwaway details like his and the son's age, was ridiculous.
Until I heard that he was from Nottingham. Then it all started to make sense.
Also, the vendor should be applauded for his ingenuity rather than forced to give a refund. He was just being a good businessman and he gave this kid exactly what he ordered.
If he is forced to give a refund, I'm going to start saying that the wrong side won World War 2.
