I want to buy a friend ESO

I've searched on this, opened a support ticket (got a wrong answer at first), tried everything to get an answer.
I would like to buy a friend ESO for pc as a surprise gift. Until the physical version comes out June 8, I can't think of a way. I don't know if he has steam. I want it to be a surprise. Everything I think of for the digital edition requires registering for him, which requires being able to get his "confirm" email, or to put my own or a new email address in.
Any ideas? Or wait a month?

    Purchase from a third party or purchase it from Steam as a gift.
    If you need a reliable third-party retailer feel free to message me.
    I know a good one but I don't want to advertise over the forums.

    I think I know exactly what you're referring to for a 3rd party source and it is excellent. I got a copy this weekend for my wife for $9. Paid an extra dollar to ensure I had insurance if the code didn't work. It did.

    I only wish I knew of that one before I made my purchase a couple weeks back.
    I went through another, but also very reliable, retailer for my Imperial Edition and paid like $60.
    Still better than retail but...

    On Topic: Guess OP has gotten this figured out? If not my offer still stands.

    I read your title as "I want to buy a friend in ESO". I was disappointed that this is not the desire.

    you forgot it or the game
    i want to buy a friend sounds sad

    don't get mad at my spelling, autocorrect doesn't cover fantasy.
    Why couldn't the Khajiit go to the party? She had to be Elsweyr.

    I read it this way as well.
    I was relieved this wasn't the case.

    Thanks, Guys.

    And yes, I meant "I want to buy a copy of ESO for a Friend!".
    I don't need to buy a friend in-game, lol.

    Although it is a little empty & lonely in the Caldwell Silver & Gold zones, sometimes....
