Call of Duty Elite premium members are all set when it comes to DLC — their subscription includes nine months of new content for MW3. The question has been…when do those nine months start?

If you've already paid, you deserve to know first!

An email went out to premium members today, along with an episode of Roll Call on Elite TV (which is also only viewable by premium members), where host Jay Frechette spoke to Robert Bowling about the DLC plans. In addition to confirming that Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software are all working on MW3 DLC, a date for the first content was announced: January 24, for Elite premium members on Xbox 360.

Other platforms and dates were not discussed, but remember that there’s a double-whammy here: Due to a business arrangement from 2010, Xbox 360 gets DLC content ahead of other platforms, and Activision has promised Elite subscribers will get DLC content ahead of the general public. With that in mind, I see five audiences: Xbox 360 Elite, Xbox 360 general public, PS3 Elite, PS3 general public, and PC. I don’t yet know in what order each of those audiences will be served. That could get confusing, but you know I’ll do my best to make it as easy to figure out as possible.

Also, the email that went to Elite premium members which noted the iOS and Android Elite clients should be coming in January. So…good Elite things are on tap for early 2012. I’ll spend the rest of the time trying to prestige again.
