Until now I thought you only got elite founder status when you buy the hardened version. But reading an article on the internet, its been said you can get Founder Status a different way.

The Australian prices have been revealed....

Annual premium membership will cost Xbox gamers 4,000 points on Xbox Live and while PlayStation gamers will be forking out $64.99 RRP on the Playstation Network. Activision are yet to confirm the cost for PC gamers.

Alternatively, gamers can choose to purchase the Hardened edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for $159.95 RRP, which contains a one year membership to Elite amongst other goodies.

its pretty expensive, but overall I guess you will save money if you buy hardened rather than things individually.

Now onto the other way you can get COD elite founder status.

Gamers who sign up before November 13, 2011, will be awarded Founders Status. This rank is only available to those who get onboard early.

by the sounds of it, if you buy a years subscription to elite and activate it within 5 days of release you will get given founder status. So it's not just us hardened buyers who will get it. Anyone who buys a year of it within 5 days.

So this is useful to know for those who pre-ordered the normal version of the game or your planning to go to the midnight launch, you can still get the special founder status without buying the hardened version

good idea or bad idea??

Looks like I saved myself a whole $3 by purchasing the Hardened edition over buying the game and Elite seperatly

What do you mean? I do not get you ... "Gamers who sign up before 11/13/11 will get founder status" Sign up on cod forums or just use the code before that?

i was bit confused, but looked on the COD elite website and found the last screensnap.....
you will get founder status if you buy a years membership and activate it before the 13th of november :y:

thats hardly fair that xbox only pay 4000ms points while ps3 users have to pay $65. Now, me being a PS3 user, may be a little confused on ms points and how much cash they are worth. And also as I live in the UK prices will be different.

But I'm so glad I managed to get the MW3 hardened edition for £65 from TESCO, granted I got it £10 cheaper from using a voucher (code is TDX-MNGK), luckily the voucher is only usable if you spend £75 or more and buy it from Tesco Direct (which I did). If this voucher helps then your welcome!

here is how much MSP points are in the UK

not sure how much elite will be for ps3 in psn cards, but 4000 msp is around £35, so it could be around that price??

Oh, ok so they cost about the same. Sorry for my 'outrage'.

well no price has been released in the Uk of how much it will actually be, but it hopefully won';t be outrageous :p

id rather founder only comes with hardened makes it more special and unique. a ton of people are going to have it now

thats exactly how i feel.

i thought hardened would show how much you deserve the status, but now anyone can get it with a years elite subscription
