Is there a way to buy this game as a gift!?

I've probably asked this 3 or 4 times now. All answers basically said "in due time."
they maybe fearful of pirates, (oh the irony) or they may be conjuring the most amazing gift package for the holidays. Either way, the time is now.
You want the new boxed edition, due Dec 16th: - can't link but it's:
store.elitedangerous.com/eur/elite-dangerous-boxed.html

lol well I just bought it for my brother, so we'll see. My reading of the store description "buy this if you don't already have E
" is that it's installable by anyone that doesn't already have E, and the "you" is misleading. If it was linked to your account I don't see why it would come with a "full game access key". But I agree the exact wording of the store description could mean "do not buy this as a gift for someone else" and FD should clarify that.

The online store FAQ says
"[h=4]Is there a way to purchase items in the store as gifts?[/h]Not currently, although this is something we are investigating. For the moment anything you purchase through the store will be fixed to your account, so we recommend not buying anything that you intend to offer as a gift.

although that text was put up there before the full boxed set was added. I've sent an 'order query' to sales support so we'll see what that comes back with.
