There will be no Call of Duty Elite beta on PC, Activision has confirmed. The plan was to roll out the beta to PC gamers, but this plan changed very late in the day, said Activision’s Social Media Manager Dan Amrich.
Amrich explained: “While PC was an option during sign-ups, the FAQ nowsays, ‘Currently, we do not plan to launch a version of the beta for the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops’. I know that’s disappointing (I’m bummed, I think my PC stats might be higher than the others, actually) but I suppose it’s better than biting off more than you can chew for the beta.”
Meanwhile it’s been confirmed that the PS3 beta will go live later this summer. The updated official Elite FAQ states: “There are two basic reasons for starting with Xbox 360. 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.”

You can still sign-up to take part in the beta by filling in some details on the Elite website.
Call of Duty: Elite will launch alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 8, 2011.
