Child’s Christmas PlayStation turns out to be a block of wood

“He's crying and he's upset and he's in the playroom by himself and he just wants to be alone”

Poor little Scott!

All he wanted for Christmas was a Sony Playstation 4.

However, when he opened his present, he found a wooden box scrawled with a naughty message instead of his coveted Playstation 4!

Somehow, the video game console had been switched out for a chunk of wood with the same dimensions of the Sony gadget.

But the holiday Grinch didn’t just leave it there – there was a rude message and drawing found on the chunk of wood.

Kristin and Brian Lundy, the parents of Scott, told WFXT-TV that he was crushed.

“He’s crying and he’s upset and he’s in the playroom by himself and he just wants to be alone,” said his step-mother Kristin.

The parents took the fake console back to Target in America where store employees were unable to explain how the switch-up happened.

The store’s manager gave the Lundy’s a brand new – and real! – PlayStation and a $100 gift card to make up for the spoiled Christmas.

The Lundy’s said they planned to sit down and write a letter to Santa Claus complaining of the “naughty elf” behind the prank.
