Obviously that can't be cheap. Maybe it could work well for sidious618 and his hot neighbor.

I posted this elsewhere but I suppose I'll post it here too:

Modern Warfare 2 with night vision goggles, Guitar Hero 5 with new plastic instruments, Tony Hawk with a plastic skateboard, DJ Hero with a plastic turntable, I think I see what Activision's strategy is. Trying to bleed gamers dry in a horrible economy. Classy.

Also it makes me pretty angry they are charging $60 for the PC version when they don't have to pay the licensing fees the console versions do. I'm not happy with how similar W@W was to MW, and MW2 looks like more of the same. After discovering Team Fortress 2 pretty much any multiplayer mode besides Left 4 Dead is no longer a real draw for me since I know I'm at most going to play it for a short time and then go back to TF2.

I bought CoD2 when I got my 360 and have been buying the rest of the series on release day since then but I'm seriously considering not buying MW2 until a pretty big sale since I'm just getting tired of the franchise and the way Activision is running it into the ground.

Oh, wow, COD is Activision, isn't it? I make fun of them for what they're doing to the music/rhythm game market by flooding it with Guitar Hero after Guitar Hero. They might as well change the next COD titles to Call of Duty 2010, Call of Duty 2011, etc., because they actually said they wanted to make it an annual franchise (like sports games?!?!?).

A little bit of side information, the official name for MW2 is now......


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Let's hope they've finally made up their mind on this matter

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition... comes with night vision gogg

So we're going to end up with another "Jedi Knight 2: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Academy" eventually?

I wouldn't be shocked if that happens lol. Something interesting that i noticed while watching that video is that the regular edition version of the game has the CoD logo on it while the special edition did not. I figure there is enough time for them to redesign the boxes for the special editions though

To be fair, the goggles aren't some peripheral for use in the game, they're just a bit of fun. Lots of games do collectors editions.

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition... comes with night vision gogg

I liked Call of Duty when it first came out ... back when it hadn't become a phenomenon for brainless jocks and 12-year-olds. I also love them calling this one the "prestige" edition. I mean, CE editions in the past have been ridiculous with those artbooks nobody reads and extra bullshit content, but this is just marketing at its best. Now people will spend the $300 or whatever to buy what should be a $60 game so they can be more "prestigious" than everyone else. Sheesh.

People stupid enough to buy this garbage deserve to be bled dry.

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition... comes with night vision gogg

it was found that MW2 lost 'brand awareness' when they removed the CoD name.

a 20% consumer awareness drop is something to take note of for marketing types...

Good Lord, how much would that cost? I would think if these are real NVG, I would have to think they would run into several hundered dollars.

Dear God! Do we really need NVGs? None of my neighbors are that cute!

Considering the Halo 3 cat helmet limited edition was $130 for a big hunk of plastic, my money's on $200 (or $199.99 if you want to be more precise) for this set. Even the cheapest kids toy versions of these goggles run around $70.

That's why when they make a World War I Call of Duty (which takes place before all the games), they'll call it Call of Duty Origins: The First Call of Duty: Before Modern Warfare.

After that they realize it's getting a bit complex, and the next game has is titled COD X.

We don't need them, but actually there have been occaisons where they could have come in handy. I have to admit my curiousity is piqued a little (But not enough to pay $200 or more for this set.)

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition... comes with night vision gogg

So, does anyone have any link to an official price? The video says it's available for pre-order, but I can't find any sites that offer anything more than the standard edition.
