It doesnt matter where one buys the PB from, at the end of the day RIM manufacturers it and thus as long as it is under the manufacturers warranty, and something is amiss with the device they will either repair it or replace it.
So, go ahead and open it up, you have an year of warranty on manufacturing defects, and 90 days on free tech support. All these nice features have already been explained by Jafobabe very well

What do you mean by "I hear a large percentage of the BlackBerry PlayBook 64GB tablets have bulges and dead pixels and recessed buttons?" A large percentage? I dare say most of those whom think the negligible rise where the BlackBerry logo is positioned also believe the Earth is flat. With the rarest of exceptions the bulge, if you must call it such, is caused by the metallic BlackBerry logo, while in the cases of an actual bulge attributable to the battery or perhaps CPU not seated correctly. I have yet to hear about an exploding BlackBerry PlayBook.
If you are worried about potential defects, buy the tablet at a brick-and-mortar store where you can open it and check it out before handing over your money.

Very helpful! You must be the class clown around here. I received very helpful responses from the adults around here. Not in the least interested in what you have to say.01-20-12 09:18 PM - Actually while the person may have been somewhat abrupt, I think they are giving it to you straight. You are essentially saying the equivalent of I bought a new car but I don't know whether I should drive it because someone had an accident somewhere else. If you are that paranoid about it then send it back. Don't assume though that buying from a brick and mortar shop will get you any better of a unit. If you don't like shopblackberry's return policy then you shouldn't have ordered from them in the first place. Sorry but your post really does sound (at best) silly. You bought a product and are stressing out about opening the package. You might get run over by a cattle stampede if you step outside but I would hazard a guess that you will still go outside.Very helpful! You must be the class clown around here.

- Relax, direfan. There's also a large probability that you'll get a fully functional, problem-free 64gb Playbook. For all you know, there may be no cause for worry.
At any rate, since you already bought it, it's done. In case you have to return it because of a factory defect, I'm certain that if you contact BB support, they can help you with the replacement. After all, you bought it at ShopBlackBerry.
To quickly dismiss any worries with your Playbook, here's what I would suggest:
1. Document exact date and time of delivery (in case you need it for returns)
2. Check your PB for your feared physical defects, and test it thoroughly.
3. In case you find something odd about your PB, or are unsure about something, post your question here at CB. Someone's bound to see your post and will respond immediately.
4. In case there's really a problem with your PB, contact BB Support immediately, citing when how long the PB has been with you (call date/time - delivery date/time). The longer the unit has been with you, the lesser your chances of proving that the problem was a factory defect.
5. Trust that RIM will do what needs to be done. After all, RIM isn't one of those cheapo-gadget-manufacturers who will are here today, gone tomorrow. They have a global brand name to protect, and they value their customers. I'm sure they'll take care of your concern, in case there will be one.
Lastly, after careful examination and testing, if you feel that everything seems to be working fine...please please please...Enjoy your Playbook!! It's an excellent piece of technology, meant to be enjoyed for it's capabilities (current and future).
Hope you get your 64gb Playbook soon, in excellent condition!!!
