Ever wanted to try City of Heroes?

robotech_masterJust found out something rather neat.
(Serial code not posted here. Duh.)
Now, I don't really care about the contest that goes with this thing. As an early adopter of City of Heroes I've got high priority for the City of Villains beta anyway. Still, just so it doesn't feel like a waste, I'd like to give this thing away to someone 1) with whom I have at least a passing acquaintance (as I would then be able to spend some of that two weeks adventuring with you) and 2) who could see themselves at least possibly subscribing to City of Heroes afterward (i.e. you don't know right now that there's no way you could afford the subscription fee or the time).
Here's what you have to do to take advantage of it once you get the code. Note that you will have to download several hundred megs of game client (so dial-up folks might as well not bother) and to create the account that you use to play it, you'll need either an approved credit card number or a City of Heroes 60-day game card. So maybe it's not quite as good a deal as it seems. It seems equivalent to giving you the City of Heroes retail box, but without manual or physical software disk and with only half a month of free play instead of a whole month. This would still be worth something like $18 at the current retail price, though ($25 Amazon.com retail box minus 1/2 a $15 month), if you didn't take off for the lack of physical manual and stuff...
Anyway, let me know if you'd be interested. I'm not going to guarantee that it will go to the first response or anything, or even necessarily that I'll give it to someone from here at all, but I promise to consider every hat that is tossed into the ring.
Oh, and if any of you interested folk have any other good friends you know play CoH, you might want to pester them about their free subscription right now, while they might not even be aware that they got it.... :)
