I bought my ixus from a dixons store. While we were having lunch in town i thought i'd have a look. Glad i did as when i fired it up there was someone else's splash screen asking to ring a number if the camera was found! I took it back and explained what had happened, and the store manager just shrugged his shoulders and said someone must have brought it back as faulty and they just put it back into stock. He replaced it, offered me 50 quid off and a free bag.
