THE BUZZ: Call of Duty: Elite is now available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace, in preparation of Modern Warfare 3′s launch at midnight.

An annual subscription to the service will cost $49.99 and will include free access to all future Modern Warfare 3 DLC. The service will also offer a free membership level which will track stats and allow you to join clans. The download weighs in at 99.36 MB.

EGM’s TAKE: You’ve got nothing to lose by downloading it (except half a C-note a year) so what are you waiting for?
