Starring "top Hollywood talent".
Gamers who choose to subscribe to Call of Duty: Elite will get free access to a Call of Duty web television show which will purportedly have "top Hollywood talent" acting in them.

"We have engaged some top Hollywood talent to create linear video content that will be exclusive to Elite members," Activision exec VP Eric Hirshberg stated. "That content is inspired by Call of Duty."

He continued: [style=greyItalic]"If you're a sports fan, there are lots of ways for you to connect with that hobby, that passion, not just on the day that the games are played, but throughout the week, and we wanted to give [Call of Duty players] real entertainment value."[/style]

More details on the show, such as if it would be live action or not, were not revealed. "We're not going to give much more detail until we have something to show," Hirshberg said. "That'll be later in the year."

Call of Duty: Elite is a half-free, half-paid subscription based hub for all things Call of Duty.

That works in Korea - in the rest of the world - I think that the phenomenon you are looking for is called YouTube - where everyone can brag about their best run in CoD ;)

This is perhaps something for those that truly are the elite players of CoD.
