how can i gift copy digital version of me3 to some1 with a already origin acct?

[spaceman]

???
is this possible?

You can't, that's why you don't use Origin

If you dont mind sharing your information, you could just sign into their account and purchase the game under that account. Otherwise as Barfo said, you probably cant.

I dont know if you can purchase through Amazon and gift it to someone else either. As a last resort, you could just buy the DVD and mail it to them or send them a gift card to Best Buy.

this is lame
not a fan of origin but have no choice with me 3<.<
if i besbuy card the person or direct disc the game will be avail for dl likely hours before the retail copy is recieved
steam u can do this, not origin..
dont want an origin bash thread but wtf

Origin has no way to "gift" games/codes. In fact, don't make the mistake of buying a second key off the website, as it will be tied to your Origin account as soon as you buy it.

I learned this the hard way.

Origin sucks, I am boycotting ME3 till they release it without Origin required.

The console versions don't require Origin, but I support your stance.

Wow they don't even have gifting? And they think they're a competitor to Steam...

I dont really have the great dislike for origin that a lot of posters have, but yea, it is pretty lame not to have gifting. Couldnt they just e-mail you a code or something and let you tie it to another account?? Seems like that would even be beneficial to them because they would get more sales.

Hehe.

You said gift and Origin in the same sentence.

I had nothing against Origin/EA, until I had to deal with customer services due to an issue. They are downright terrible. Nothing but scripted answers, don't even seem to actually read the problem statement. I will not buy ANY game that requires Origin to run.

I sympathize with your problem, but I had the same response from Steam regarding a log in problem I was having. Overall, I think customer service is in a pretty sorry state these days. I will grant you though that Steam overall offers more than Origin. Too bad the two couldnt come to some kind of agreement to put ME3 on steam. Seems like a lose/lose/lose situation for Steam, EA, and gamers.
