[Reasonable]

While Activision are correct seems to me they're finding it's not going to be easy to try and have an exclusive deal on one console while trying themselves to offer a cross-console elite service offering as well.

Really I don't think the two are that compatible from a marketing perspective and Activision are going to face this so long as DLC hits 360 first. People are going to take Elite and expect that means they get priority - they're wrong, but to be fair Activision is trying to mix two messages here and this won't go away as a result.

Kinda makes you wonder why the hell a PS3 user would even get ELITE, hell why would anyone for that matter

That - in a nutshell - is there problem.  They're positioning Elite as giving you the uber priority and experience, but this cuts across their existing deal which gives 360 a time advantage on DLC.

TBH personally I think they should have waited until the contract expired until they brought something like Elite to the market.  I guarantee they are going to hear this complaint a lot.
