Same thing happened to me, however to the best of my knowledge I didn't put any pressure, or the device fell. I got my 360 on January 28, and 3 weeks later I somehow broke the mirror.
The warranty does not cover mirror replacement, which costs $125 without shipping. A new PB 360 with shipping included costs $141.
One thing is clear, about e-book readers: they are very fragile. I doubt the device would have lasted very long anyway, me carrying on the Metro, with all the squeezing and pushing you get during rush hour.
Here's a picture of what mine looks like. I'm still able to use it thanks to the accelerometer, I start reading the page, and when I get to the broken part I turn the device 180º and continue reading, but boy, what a pain in the ass that is!
I am on the market for another reader, but so far I haven't found one that offers enough protection.
