The packaging is a puzzle box, I'm convinced.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, you're out of luck regardless. Mine has a defective SD card slot, and I was told I could send it back under the warranty, but that they wouldn't be able to ship me a replacement until mid-late January, after all the preorders get out the door. I decided to hold onto it till the stores have them in stock and I can just do an immediate swap (and not pay to ship it back to B&N).
