Would you prefer to get a PS4 or a block of wood for Christmas? Scott Lundy from Wakefield, MA. didn’t get to make the choice. When he opened his Christmas gifts, what at first appeared to be a PS4 soon turned out to be a block of wood.

 Instead of unboxing a sick next-gen console (his parents opted for the Teen-rated Uncharted bundle), Lundy found a PS4-shaped bit of wood. What’s worse, instead of a quick start guide to read, the malcontent penned a surly seasonal greeting. 

But that’s not all. Not only did little Lundy not get a PS4, whomever left the block of wood inside the box also left a little message for the would-be block owner as well. What’s perhaps more interesting is that the block of wood actually has a design to it. I guess our little mischievous thieves had a bit of time on their hand. The note which is blurred out in the shot above can be found after the jump.

 The message? Reportedly the Mature-rated “from c*ck and balls with love.” 

Luckily the boy’s family was able to return the PS4 to Target and not only get an actual PS4, but also received a $100 gift card for their trouble. Seems like Target righted the situation in a great manner but it sure would be nice to see Sony step in as well and give the boy a little extra holiday magic.

This brings us to my favorite PS3 commercial.
