If I want to playthe game on pc and eventually when xbox comes out migrate there how can a friend of mine save some money rather than buy 2 games and pay 2 accounts?

I don't think there is right now, although we haven't heard really if there will be anything like that.

We do know PC and consoles will be on different megaservers, so you'll need two separate accounts, whether they'll allow you to migrate to another platform we've yet to see.

If they did allow a platform migratrion for an account, I doubt they would do so without a fee being attached to it.

Yeh that seems more likely. We'll have to wait and see OP.

Its just that my friend is waiting for the xbox version while I am heading for the PC , if he could get a way to migrate the account from one to the other after he could actually even join befoure . But doesnt want to spent too many times and redo the same stuff over and over .

Send an email to the ESO help and ask. They might not know yet if they can do server transfers. http://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/ask/session/L3RpbWUvMTM5MDgyMjE0Ni9zaWQvVDRFMTRxTGw%3D
