50% off MW3 DLC Deal, Slap in the Face to Premium Elite Members?

MP1st - "In the slightly modified words of Rick James, what’d the 50% off DLC for MW3 say to the face of Elite premium members? SLAP! This upcoming week from July 3rd to July 9th, you will find MW3 DLC available for 50% off or 600 MS Points per DLC pack. For some, it’s no big deal as they had the content months ahead and got to play it first, so it was worth the premium cost. To others it shows the lack of loyalty and customer appreciation to those players who bought into the subscription model and paid full price for an Elite premium subscription." (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Xbox 360)

I'm not surprised TBH.
I mean for those Elite guys it's not like they haven't played it yet and plus got it earlier. But this is pretty standard business practice. A company offers a services, months later same products much cheaper.
I can even see EA doing something similar with BF3

I doubt elite members would care about content they played months ago being half off

I bet elite players don't even play the DLC maps anymore anyway

Whoever pays to be an elite member deserves to be slapped in the face regardless.

you took the words out of my mouth
it's nothing but a stupid service to grab extra money from uninformed fans! and Elite subscribers on PS3 is still getting the shaft too! what's the point of paying the same amount of money when Elite on 360 still get contents earlier? they shouldn't have waited for Activision to slap them, they should've slapped themselves long ago!

Makes sense to lower the price over time. I don't see how this could make an elite member upset.

Slap!

It is a smart business decision. Your main group of support bought the Elite package. The cheap asses are the ones holding out, this deal is nothing but bait.
