User blog:Drkdragonz66/MW3 Content Collection 1 & 2 and Black Ops DLC reduced to 600 MSP next Tuesday

For lucky xBox members, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Content Collections (1 & 2) AND Call of Duty: Black Ops's four DLC packs (First Strike, Escalation, Annihilation, and Rezurrection) will be reduced to 600 MS Points each! For players who didn't want to spend money on Black Ops, now's the time.

Wall of Text Incoming Call of Duty ELITE (for the xBox) no longer has any value at this point. Unless you watch the ELITE videos and participate in the Clan Ops, ELITE is basically pointless from a DLC and money perspective. With Content Collections 1 & 2 being 600 MS points, that equates to 15 USD or 13.96 Euros. With Content Collections 3 & 4 going to follow the trend of its predecessors and be 1200 MS Points, if you add them all up (600+600+1200+1200), that equates to 45 USD or 41.87 Euros. With ELITE costing 50 USD or 49.99 Euros. ELITE, which was previously thought to save you money (around 10 USD), this defeats the purpose of ELITE, as if you get the two content collections now and every content collection after this, you save 5 USD. Knowing Activision, they will probably make Content Collections 3 & 4 600 MS points too, which when you add up the money (600*4), that equates to 30 USD or 27.91 Euros. You end up spending around 20 dollars extra, if you just want the DLC. Think about it (inb4 flame war in comments)
