Paying for "Founder " status...

What's the deal with paying for "Founder" status? I guess they found a niche to extract money from dummies.
I don't buy into
the entire ELITE business. We pay $60 per year to access everything that XBL has to offer and they charge just shy of that for a couple games of stats and video stuffs? Fooey.
Are not the Founders of the CoD ELITE those who participated in the beta as well? Oh well, no sweat off my back, the emblem and title mean nathan except braggin rights and only the people who had their mums buy the game for them will flaunt it.
In my own opinion of course.

You also get a discount on DLC, and double XP, with a Premium membership of ELITE.
3 DLC's at ~$15 a pop, $45 total. $40/50 year for ELITE. What happens if 1 of those DLC's comes after your year is up? You'd either have to pay the yearly fee again and/or pay for the DLC alone.
I see the only benefit is for the DLC, maybe some 2 XP, but all the rest is wasted.
Well if you knew your stuff you would know that premium is way more that some emblems and camo, and what do you mean what if the DLC comes out after your year is up? Obviously you missed the part where the DLC comes out monthly for 9 months in a row
I missed where the DLC comes out monthly for 9 months in a row? Yes, I did miss where they said DLC would come out every month for 9 months...
Did you mean word that differently? I doubt seriously that new DLC will be released 9 times in 9 months.
Or do you have a link to this?
Thanks.
EDIT: Googled it and found it. It seems that the information was not provided in detail to me. I'm not sure how this info was missed.
Actually he is correct about once a month for 9 months. It says so on the website the rollout day is the 3rd of every month. It wont all be map packs though just camo maybe some guns I think dont quote me on that.
Posted before your edit sorry.
If you're not getting Elite you're wasting money on this alone:
4 DLC's (that's how many there will be for people that don't have elite) - $60
Elite - $50, PLUS we get the DLC earlier and at a faster rate.
Ok, with more information about it has a better appeal.
Just got it for 1 year. We'll see how that pans out...
4 map packs standalone = $60
Hardened Edition is $100, so pay an extra $40 and get $60 of maps. Basically with Hardened I pre-paid for all 4 map packs at a rate of $10 per pack. That already justifies Elite Premium for me. Then you get all the other stuff with Elite premium like the extra Theater features, pusblishing your own custom game types, and the monthly DLC schedule (always getting 1 or 2 maps every month)
Yeah I also forgot the part that if you are elite premium you get the DLC earlier than everyone else, but I can't imagine it would be too much sooner, maybe a few days or a week
Try a few months.
A few months? Xbox gets it a month early, premium gets it even earlier but not by months, that's rediculously considering DLC is every month for 9 months
You are not a call of duty "Founder" or "Elite" just because you bought it.
You are a founder if you have been playing Call of Duty since the beginning of Call of Duty 1.
You are not Elite unless you have Elite stats.
This is just one big scam to make millions of noobs think they are "Elite".
PATHETIC.
