I bought mine at Best Buy 13 days ago for $1,399 and had to do a few in-store exchanges to get a good one.
Luckily, Best Buy has a 15 day "Money Back and Exchange" window that I may take use of. Maybe get a spare battery and a movie for the $200 difference if I can get them to honor their "If we lower our in-store online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request." Some places are not bound to do this; e.g. My local hobby shop who will not exchange anything, even defective, and offers their "Take it up with the manufacturer." as a warranty.
Don't want to give BB back my good one for maybe another couple of bad ones on an exchange to get the lower price. Had enough of that beta P4 buying experience. We'll see...
Added a few hours later:
Best Buy gave me back a $215 credit on the price difference as I was under the 15 day window. Same return girl working the counter and zero issues. Bought a spare battery and other some stuff.
