Umm .. my MBP17 screen went from Matte to Glossy overnight ..

This was mine when I received it (it looks much shinier in person). The finish does have that glossy appearance but you notice that it definitely isn't glossy after an hour or so of INITIAL use.

That looks like the regular matte screen.

Did you get AppleCare Plus? With AppleCare Plus your Mac knows if something is wrong and calls Apple by itself. Within an hour a team of ninja goblins from Apple's payroll appears and fixes everything sometimes upgrading things that didn't need to be upgraded. They won't show up if you're watching though.

Darn, I totally would've sprung for Apple Care Plus Home Edition.
