call of duty elite

Well no one I have checked is giving the price of it! [game/station/cool/shop/etc etc]

you have to pay for it through psn store or whatever the equivalent is on xbox live.

it will be £39.99 a year i think, dont take my word for it though. you will need to see when it is released on the store.
 
With Elite will get you the maps for 'free' but you will still be able to get the maps seperate in the usual map packs if you don't have Elite.

Ah, because when on BLOPS they release Elite in Beta I thought it was just that and not the DLC added on.

Probably will be £40 odd then yeah.
 
There will be 20 pieces of DLC across 9 months for Elite members.

No-one knows what this DLC will entail.

I will guess it will be 12-16 maps and 4 other pieces of DLC.

Elite also gives you access to prized competitions, larger storage for videos as well as more times for videos.

The stats element of Elite is free to all users.

it may even be £49.99, im guessing that £40 sounds about right, but then SONY/MICROSOFT will want a cut, so it may get bumped up.

i dont think anyone will know until it is released on their stores.
 
It's £34.99 on PSN right now for a year membership, I was only quickly browsing the store the other day but I'm pretty sure that's the price it was.
 
It's been no secret that Activision has been looking to get some kind of subscription fee out of players for a couple of years now, so this Elite pass looks like as close as they can get without totally alienating the market.

Gears of War 3 has obviously introduced the Season Pass, but with that they've been quite clear that it gets you a discount compared to if you had bought each piece of DLC separate. It's fairly smart in that obviously you might not even be playing the game anymore by the time the DLC is all released an so wouldn't have bothered to buy it.

So far it looks like with COD Elite that they are trying to make a subscription desirable by releasing content every month. If the map packs are the usual sort of price of £10 in points, then that's pretty rotten to pay that outright every month. Clearly this will span over all the future COD games, so they can keep you on a continuing subscription.

The real question though is as to whether they are holding back features and content so that without a subscription, you are going to get less of an experience.
 
I've been doing some rep work for Activision round the gaming stores for COD Elite.

It's £34.99 for the year (PSN) or 4000 XBL points, you just need to have the points/cash on your account.

Once you've played your first MW3 game online, your Elite profile will be created, then you can make it Premium.

If you do it before 13th Nov, you'll have 'Elite Founder' status, giving you access to a few more bits and bobs like a VIP profile skin etc. :)
