No, this is being quoted out of context. Whilst Call of Duty Elite has the premium services, the majority of the service will be free. In fact, if you decide to buy all DLC, then with Elite, you're up ten dollars as opposed to just buying the DLC, which itself costs more by than the ELITE package itself.
