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.
