Forums - Sony - 9 year old wanted a PS4, Target sold him wood, both kinds

In the end, is there any difference?

According to a report by Boston’s Fox 25 and the step-mother’s Facebook post, nine-year-old Scott Lundy was over-the-moon when he unwrapped a PlayStation 4 box on Christmas morning, shouting, “YES THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER DAD CAN WE SET THIS UP NOW?”

So imagined how crushed he was when they opened the box and discovered a block of wood vaguely shaped like a PlayStation 4. And imagine how shocked parents Kristin and Brian were when the saw what was scrawled on the wood—”From cock and balls with love”, along with a picture of those two things.

He'd have more fun with the block of wood, jk jk XD But omg I wish I was there to see this happen, it sounds amazing! This sort of stuff always happens around the holidays, I'm sure he was able to get a real PS4 after though

From Cock and Balls with love... I laughed hard for awhile when I read this earlier.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Maybe he could turn it into a puppet who wants to become a real boy =P.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

The lengths people go through to get an extra free ps4, whether it's somebody in the store, a return or that family themselves...

I laughed harder than I should've...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

how do people go about switching out the contents of these things? and why do they do it? I mean if your going to cut a wooden ps4 in design, that shyt takes time and planning. Why put in that much effort if you just wanted to steal a ps4? and the rest.... well... what kinda person takes pleasure in ruining christmases that much?

Whoever handled that return sure as shit got in trouble for not checking the box. haha

The best games on PS4 are mature anyway, and we all know exactly the kind of games this kid is probably interested in, so I said this is a good warning/lesson for the parents.

pretty sure this boy doesn't check metacritc or something like that to decide what games he wants and the ps4 has plenty enough of games for kids his age.

Can you explain the last part? Parents shoudn't buy their kids a ps4 because someone could made a mistake (prank)?
