Activision has confirmed to GamerZines that an annual subscription to Call of Duty Elite will cost 34.99 per year in the UK.

The service, which was fully revealed earlier today at Call of Duty XP, will offer premium members access to all of Modern Warfare 3's DLC at no additional cost, in addition to numerous extra features on the social networking service, including the ability to level up your clans, as well as access to daily tournaments, competitions and exclusive videos.

For sake of comparison, a premium subscription costs $49.99 per year in the US.

A free subscription to Elite will also be available, but will limit users to the Connect and Compete functionality of the website.

A year's subscription to Call of Duty: Elite's premium service will also be included in the box with Modern Warfare 3's Hardened Edition, although a price for that is still to be announced.

Modern Warfare 3 launches on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PC on November 8th.
