Jorge and I are still processing all the E3 madness, so we thought we'd talk about one of last week's big stories: Call of Duty: Elite. Activision's new Call of Duty social network promises to provide players with detailed battle statistics, group functionality, and a persistent profiles across multiple games. However, some of this comes at a price: parts of Call of Duty: Elite will only be available to those who pay a premium fee. It's move with very few precedents, so we thought it would be a good topic to discuss. As always, feel free to jump in with your thoughts in the comments!Some discussion starters:- How much (if anything) would you pay for premium Call of Duty content? Are there any other games that might hook you with a similar structure- What does this mean for the future of the Call of Duty series?- How will the advent of premium content impact plot-driven games?To listen to the podcast:- Subscribe to the EXP Podcast via iTunes here.
