They claimed the console was swapped out for a rock.

Users online weren’t convinced by the tale, with one saying: “Not just the inside, the whole box would be punched out to s**t with the corners and movement of that brick in transit.”

Meanwhile, others claimed a stone that big would “rumble and roll” inside the box.

One said: “The lack of damage inside that cardboard is very sus.”

Redditors commented there would’ve been a lot more “dust and scuff” marks inside the box.

Some joked it was a “rocky start” to the son’s birthday, with one branding the alleged ordeal as “Indiana Jones s**t”.

Some Redditors online said it’s likely the alleged incident didn’t happen, claiming the rock was stuck in the box for a “photo shoot”.

Internet users branded the story fake.

One said: “Yep it’s BS. These types of posts are always BS.”

Another commented: This 100%. Can’t trust anything on the internet.”

While, a third commented: “This is 100 percent staged, and anyone thinking otherwise isn’t much for critical thinking.”

Meanwhile, others asked the Redditor: “Who would open a PS box like that? Hmmm”.
