They're not unheard of, but their not "common" either. I would take it back as quick as you can -- they have a pretty narrow in-store return policy ... something like 14 days I think. You can probably get them to open the replacement and check it, they usually come with a fair amount of charge in the battery, so that's not a problem.
Be sure and un-register the current one from your Sony account before returning it if you have it registered!
