So apparently the first batch of manuals printed are missing the last digit of the registration code you need to install the game. Here is EA's suggestion:
----------
There is currently a work around that may allow you to bypass this issue. Since you have the first 19 characters of the code already, you can basically try "guessing" the last character. To do this, simply enter your existing code, and then for the last character, try the letters A-Z, and then the numbers 0-9. You should eventually get the right combination, and be able to play the game. If this does not work, you can follow the instructions below.
In order to get a replacement code, please click the "Contact Us" link on the left side of the page, and attach an image of your code to the incident.
----------
So... I either attempt to exchange my open PC game with another at GameStop and hope I get a good manual, or I spend half an hour trying every letter and number until I land on the correct last digit (which I've already begun doing and every 3 invalid attempts makes you retype the whole thing), or I take a pic of the code with my camera, upload it, and email it to EA and wait for their response.
I'm seriously annoyed, EA owes us some fucking reparations for this...
