According to the earnings report, they sold 7 million elite passes, (as of jan. 31) which added an extra 350Million dollars of revenue.. But then again if those 7 million people had bought the 60$ worth of maps they would've made 420Million.. So if they release the same amount of DLC, they will make more money. It makes sense.

Elite was free. You simply downloaded the app from the PS Store.

Elite "Premium" wasnt. This was the one that gave you the dlc way ahead of those that were buying it in the collections.

Like the last one, which the Premium subscribers got on a Tuesday and it was available to buy as a collection on the Wednesday. 24 hours later.

Way ahead of the non-Premium that.

Also for a long time only Premium members could progress your clan ranking.

It doesnt matter to me anyway as I wont be buying Blops2, such was the pissing off that Activision gave over Elite. Nearly 6 months before you could play any clan ops! and even then it wasnt clan v clan like in KZ or similar games

Good, this is something that I felt should have been free in the first place, especially when their competition had something very similar for free. I guess this means the service won't auto renew, unless there will still be "Premium" for Modern Warfare 3.
