The idiot finally gets an Xbox One

defunkt

So the guy that bought a picture of an Xbox one has been given one by a game store... (He is still an idiot)

An eBay scam victim who paid £450 for a photo of an Xbox One finally got his hands on the prized console - after a sympathetic games shop gave him one for free.

Good for him. Console peasant should of been more careful. But seriously, when will people properly start to look at eBay listings? It does say picture in the title.

Yeah, that "kid" on the right bought a picture of an XBone for 450 pounds for his 4-year old, thinking it was the real thing. It even said picture in the title, but he thought is was the console because "it was in the console section".

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

yeah, these are the same deucebags that complain that "games are to violent for kids"

 

 

b**** wtf did you think it had a gun on the front and a big M that says not FOR KIDS... People need to get it thru their thickheads that ever since 1995 game consoles have not been aim'ed at kids. They are aim'ed at teenagers and adults. Not for little timmy 12 year old, and his 4 year old brother...

He shouldn't have been rewarded for his stupidity. The store just took advantage of this to get some publicity.

Well honestly from my view point it's pretty stupid to click "buy" on something that states that it is a picture of the console. Not the actual console itself. On the news article that came up ages ago about this it said that this teen felt "unsure" about it but still went through. I'm sure you should take your gut feeling over a chance to get a console... But oh well, It was his hard earned money he misused...

I agree he definitely should have actually read that.

 

Didn't he buy it for over the normal price?

It is probably likely that he did. I'm not sure how much it was but if I was actually selling one around Launch I'd definitely sell it slightly higher than normal because I know people would want to buy the console regardless.

I wouldn't know, I live in the US. Regardless though the store heard about that imbecile's impressive lack of braincells and saw an opportunity to get some "goodwill" be helping a man who is obviously on the same mental level as a turnip, just thinking about the fact that that man reproduced makes me slightly ill.
