DS Dead Pixels

I sent out mine yesterday. I had two dead pixels, red and a blue one. I saw the red one ALL the time. You know in PictoChat when you do something you have a small boxed window, orange outlines? Everytime that pops up the red dot is right there. If I play Metroid or Mario it s still very noticeable. The blue dot was barely noticeable, but the red dot was just freaking annoying. And both dots are near the middle of the screen.
 
I just bought the $15 warrantee at EB. If there's a dead pixel in a year I take it back and they give me a new one.

I agree it kind of sucks for people importing though.
 
Dead pixels are the main reason I would never import a PSP, the probability of one is higher (and in a way more understandable) on that machine, and I know Sony's going to be a bitch about it to its domestic customers buying a domestic machine, much less trying to deal with an import machine.
 
mine has one red one up in the top screen which i can only see when the rest of the screen goes black - going by peoples reactions on here, i was expecting it to be much larger.. as it is, i don't even really notice it :)
