A student was left stunned after she she switched on her new games console and found it contained images of a naked stranger.
Shannon Bridges, 19, was given the Nintendo 3DS XL as an early birthday present from her boyfriend, Jack, who had bought it from a second-hand store in Cardiff city centre.
But Ms Bridges was left disgusted after she and a friend discovered nude images had been stored on the device which showed a naked man pleasuring himself.
Shannon Bridges, 19, was given the Nintendo 3DS XL as an early birthday present from her boyfriend, Jack, who had bought it from a second-hand store in Cardiff city centre.
The teenager contacted the store involved - CeX - to alert it to her concerns, and to query why the console had not been checked before it was sold at its branch in St David's shopping centre.
Ms Bridges, who is studying psychology at Cardiff Metropolitan University,said: 'I felt so sick - I was laughing at them but all I could think about was if a parent bought that for their child.
'Imagine if they saw them.
'I thought it was a little bit irresponsible of them to not reset it because this could have been a lot worse.
Ms Bridges said CeX should have apologised properly and restored the device to its factory settings in the first place
'Luckily for them I'm just the kind of person to laugh it off.'
Ms Bridges complained on Twitter to the chain, and was told to report it online.
But Ms Bridges said they should have apologised properly and restored the device to its factory settings in the first place.
She added: 'Their tweet was so ambiguous I couldn't understand so I just left it and they haven't contacted me since.
'I kind of would have liked them to apologise more than 'sorry to hear this' because at the end of the day, it wasn't very nice to see and they were very lucky that this was not someone else or a child, because the consequences could be extremely different.'
CeX could not be reached for comment.
