I believe Giro has a "crash replacement" program. If you are willing to ship them your used helmet (which they then use for testing, etc, I believe) they send you a discount coupon. I think it used to be a rather good discount and now it's more like 20-30% off, but if you are buying the things retail (and not trying to find the one that's on sale) it may be worth the slight hassle.
