Most likely it updated as soon as you connected to the Internet.
1) Yes, buy a "Certified Refurbished" PW3 from Amazon.
2) Yes, buy from a local, small, non-Amazon retailer.
How about you telling us where and when you purchased yours?
That way people would know one place to avoid.
Also, see the post immediately above this one.

Well, mine was certified refurbished and came with 5.8.9.2. Of course, I guess I may have been able to downgraded, but mine ended up at 5.8.10 before I knew there was a possibility it might work. Otherwise, it does seem the non-Amazon retailer would be the best bet.
The other caveat to all this, is that for any chance of this to work, it seems people need to have the non-special offers version in the first place. When I bought my refurbished one, I had no choice but to buy a special offers version. Of course to turn that off, you have to turn on the wireless to make the necessary purchase. In retrospect, it was a bit of a catch 22.
