Buying GR for someone else
Amazon, EBay, bestbuy, etc
So I recently started playing CoH with my partner, and I got the GR complete edition (because that was what my trial account had), but since he's a vet he hasn't got the GR expansion, and I was hoping to get it for him for Christmas. If I can't buy it for him through the ncsoft system, and none of my local stores seem to carry it, what's a legitimate way of buying GR online for him?

In case you were wondering, Gwen, the Going Rogue: Complete Collection isn't just for creating new accounts--it can be used to update an existing account as well. The Complete Collection comes with two additional costume sets and auras, a (nearly useless) stealth power, and a free month of game time.
To upgrade an account, one just needs to log in with their CoH account on http://us.ncsoft.com/en/ and click the "Use a Serial Code" link on the right side of the page.

It kinda feels a little unnecessary to buy the whole game when he doesn't need it though - I could spend the money on a booster instead? But thanks for the suggestions! I will take a look.
The Complete Collection is the best way to go, even if he already has the game.
GR Upgrade: 29.99
CC item pack: 7.99
One month of game time: 14.99
Total: 51.97
GR Complete Collection: 39.99
Savings: 11.98
EDIT: If he didn't have the game, change "one month of game time" to "CoH/V: 19.99" and Savings to 16.98.

One is the item pack, otherwise $8 or so. The other is the month of play time $11-15 Blair depending on subscription chosen. The expansion-only version comes with niether.
Also, try Steam - it sells account codes you then apply to your account, and if yoiur other has a steam account you can even gift directly to their account.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
