I got my brand new black Sony PRS-650 from BestBuy. When I opened the box, I realized that there's a quite visible deep scratch on the front black portion on the e-reader near the stylus. It's one of those scratches where you can see it and you can feel it with your fingernails.

It just pisses me off that something brand new has a visible deep scratch.

And it would be illegal for a store to sell refurbished products at original retail prices without telling their customers that the product was refurbished right?

Luckily, I didn't see any scratches on the screen.

Anyone here experienced scratches on their brand new out from the box Sony e-readers?
