The guys on AVS linked me to a thread with a couple of other people that have had the same problem:

And according to one of the guys in the thread, Sony has extended the warranty to January 15 for launch window owners because of this problem. I guess I'll be covered then. Extending the warranty for such a small problem is a pretty nice thing to do, imo. :)
