Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition packs eye-opening bonus, costs $150

well...im sold:D

The practice of making extravagant "Collector's Editions" of video games is as old as gaming itself, but it looks like Activision is about to kick it up a notch.

When the anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released on November 10, its $150 Prestige Edition will include what's surely the most extravagant bundled bonus ever -- a fully-functioning pair of night-vision goggles.

An Activision community manager made the announcement in a Youtube video, where he unboxes and shows off the goggles, which carry the game's branding. The Prestige Edition also includes a head-shaped display stand for the goggles, an art book, and fancy limited-edition packaging.

Modern Warfare 2's night-vision specs will join a proud tradition of crazy video game pack-ins, including Halo 3's infamous cat helmet, The Sims 3's plumbob-shaped USB drive, and Fallout 3's oversized watch and bobble-head doll, which was featured in the game, too.

It'll retail at $150, and considering that even basic night vision goggles easily run over $100 on their own, it actually sounds like a pretty good deal. All the same, as far as we can determine, it's the most expensive retail video game bundle in history, discounting games that came with their own custom controllers.

So if you're keen to play Modern Warfare 2 (as the follow-up to easily the best game of '07, you should be) and you're keen to spy on your neighbors, you'd better get saving.

i dont want to waste 149.99 on one game, while i get a cheap pair of night vision goggles

im sorry but its a joke edition to me.

Was this supposed to be an advertisement, because thats what it seems like

That is one of the coolest collector edition game packs I have ever seen! Actually probally worth the money seems how night vision goggles cost around like $80 or something. So you'd really only be spending $10 more if you bought the game pack with the Call of Duty branded goggles. Now I dont know how good the quality is on these things are though. But if the quality is good then this is one hell of a deal. RoCkStaR_EnGaGe

thats true, night vision is not a toy there for they are not cheap, plus $150 for all that? no thank you

This is really old. Pretty much all of us here know what kind of cheap edition this is going to be....Real NVG? Give me a break. I will be happy with the regular edition of the game.

Yeah, a code for getting CoD1 for free, i'd rather pay 50$ for the game then buying Microsoft point to afford CoD1.

like we said these are child plastic toys that are made cheap and doesnt work well

[QUOTE="RoCkStaR_EnGaGe"][QUOTE="RobboElRobbo"] Real night vision goggles are around $1000 duderesevl4rlz

that sounds lame..

Why would I want to pay anything extra for night vision goggles? I wouldn't and I don't care how good they are, when are you going to use them?? I was hoping it came with a gun and then I'd get it.Sonny360Elite

Hmm... a replica gun would be pretty cool and at least that wouldn't run up $80. lol.

Unless the goggles actually have something to do with the game, there's no reason for them to be packaged with it. They benefit the player's experience in no way shape or form. In fact, I'm pretty sure wearing the goggles while playing MW2 will actually worsen the experience. If I want night vision goggles, I'll buy night vision goggle.

Looks cool but i think the NVG will be cheap as hell like to get in a lucky bag

With COD1 been there done that and some sheap collectable no thanks.

Can someone please close most of these post about the COD prestige pack.

i'll stay hard

or w/e the middle one is

i would get the prestige, but only if i pissed on money

They forgot to mention that the prestige edition also come with a harder gameplay setting....you put the goggles on then try to play the game on veteran ;)

hahaha, I find this hilarious.
