Here's the easy answer for everyone.  Some copies of MW3 got out early.  So let's say that someone got their MW3 early and started playing.  Next thing ya know there are tons of videos out there about Elite features they wanted you to wait to see until you got the game.  So they take it down until midnight.

OK well I hope your right and do you know were I will redeem my code I will get with my hardnened edition.

I am going to assume inside of elite there willl be a place for that or there will be instructions with the code. I am getting a hardened so I'll find it

I am still having this problem today. it is so frustrating
