You know, this isn't a good day to break news like this. It leaves us all wondering if it really happened. It's possible that Best Buy is wondering the same thing. If this really happened, I feel for you.

I have heard of cases where a customer will purchase hardware, bring it home, open the box in such a way that it leaves no evidence, swap product with brick, reseal box, and return for a refund. I went to school with a guy that got a dvd burner in this way.
