Is this $50/year pass worth the money?
Here's what a paid subscription to Call of Duty Elite gets you: A whole year of Modern Warfare 3 DLC. Activision says the first year will have over 20 pieces of content, from map packs to new modes, that would cost over $60 if purchased later.
- Daily and weekly competitions and events with both physical and digital prizes
- Eight times the video sharing capacity (I'm assuming this means storage)
- Leveling up your clan, though you can start and join one as a free player
- Access to strategy and tips for maps, guns, and modes produced by expert CoD players, which will definitely not be ripped and rehosted the day they go up
- Elite TV: Web video episodes featuring the likes of Ridley and Tony Scott (producing a show pitting real-life rivals against each other in CoD) and Will Arnett and Jason Bateman (producing a show where celebrities talk smack over user-submitted videos)
