Sorry to hear that. That's crazy!

Its possible that someone that works at whatever store you bought it from did a nifty job of opening it up, and using the code, then close it back. I've had this happen numerous times especially when I buy online.

Now, I only buy games like this straight from the company that makes it or buy a hard copy from a reputable local store like gamestop where this is much less likely to happen.

Where did you buy it from?
I'm thinking someone either guessed the codes or gained access to where the codes are stored. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen this has happened with other games and SE doesn't have the best security.

If you still have all the codes, receipts and original packaging I don't see why you couldn't call in and get things sorted out. Plus they will likely know if the codes have been compromised, even if they won't admit it.
