Default Bought "new" camera but it has taken 500 pics!

Hi all,
I bought a new Olympus E410 today from my local Currys store, however, when I got it home I discovered a 1gb compact flash card already inside.
After installing the camera software I loaded the card contents to my computer, there's about 20 photos of Currys staff members and merchandise on it, but the number on the last photo is 504, I assume this the total number of shots taken with this particular camera.
If it is, then the camera is not "new", but second hand.
What would you recommend I ask for, a refund or new replacement or a discount on the price? I paid over £400 in total (camera body, 17.5-45mm lens, 40-150 lens, Olympus camera bag and 1gb card).
Cheers Gerald.
