So I had to get this out there to see if I'm the only one seeing this...

Ok, when Elite was first being sold it was advertised as a way to connect and compete with other players from around the world and receive awards and recognition for your playing. Yet, it took months for clan operations and clan challenges to even be implemented and become available. Even though these features were promised with the initial sales pitch.  Almost every feature promised with Elite from the start was not complete or not fully functional until weeks or months after the release, some still don't even work fully yet... So this is why I feel they offered all the MW3 DLC with the premium subscriptions, because they knew they were selling us an unfinished product.  It's like they sat down and brain stormed all the features they would like to implement then started to sell the program to help fund their efforts and development of these features. This is why you can expect not to receive the DLC for BLOPS 2 with your premium subscription. They had to give you something for your money and they knew their program wasn't complete so they decided to give you the DLC, hence the premium subscription almost equals the value of the DLC anyway. So now that you have paid them to be part of their beta... oh excuse me... "service" they have made their money off you for this year and in the mean time finished building their product, with the money you provided them, for release with the next game. Now they won't want to lose money this time around on the DLC so they won't be bundling it with premium so you will buy premium to help your clan and still hopefully purchase the DLC as well. It was a smart way of pushing out their product because they knew if they put out a half finished product people would complain and demand refunds because they weren't receiving what they paid for. But in this scenario they can say you are receiving your moneys worth in just DLC alone plus the Elite features...whenever they work... This is honestly the only way I can justify purchasing premium again is if they would offer the DLC for BLOPS 2 with it but I don't see that happening since they have Elite almost fully functional now. So they won't want to take that loss knowing that atleast 75% of people playing this game will purchase the DLC and everyone currently in a clan will feel they need to buy another subscription of premium so they will be making double the money this time around.  I just had to put this out there because I feel they have pulled a veil over a lot of players eyes and were simply trying to profit off an unfinished product with Elite 1.0.  Feel free to put in your 2 cents on this topic as well as it's something a lot of people should be made aware of when deciding if they want to give them even more of their hard earned money.
