The Call of Duty series is generally affiliated with Xbox 360 these days thanks to Microsoft paying for its customers to have first access to the series' downloadable content. When it came to the beta for Call of Duty Elite, we didn't think your platform of choice would make any difference. But upon launching (http://www.1up.com/news/call-of-duty-elite-beta-begins-tomorrow-heres-what-you-need-to-know) in July -- using Call of Duty: Black Ops (http://www.1up.com/games/xbox360/cod-black-ops/) in place of Modern Warfare 3 (http://www.1up.com/games/xbox360/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/) -- PC gamers were told they wouldn't get a chance to try Elite before release and that PS3 gamers would have to wait, as the beta would only be available on Xbox 360 at first. After a two-month wait, PS3 gamers can finally get their first hands-on taste of what Elite has in store.
Activision has announced that the first wave of PS3 Elite beta invitations have gone out. Like the 360 beta, more people will be included as time goes on. Don't be discouraged if you didn't already get in as this initial wave of invites was referred to as "limited," so it doesn't sound like there are an abundance of PS3 gamers involved just yet.
"There are two basic reasons for starting with Xbox 360," an official FAQ explained back in July. "First, in order to better manage the beta and reduce variables we are launching with one platform as we begin our testing. Second, due to the past outage of the PSN we have not had as much time to internally develop and test the online functionality of Call of Duty Elite with PSN. It is important that we have thoroughly QA tested functionality before releasing to a public beta phase."
