Robert Bowling just revealed via Twitter the special edition for Modern Warfare 2.
Here's the Youtube video of the unboxing:
" It will be very expensive no doubt. "And yeah, it probably will. Can't wait til they tell us how much it costs.
If I had to take a shot for every time he said 'badboy', 'edition' and 'game' I wouldn't be able to type this or see straight.
Nightvision goggles seem cool providing they actually do work. And by work I mean actually allow you to walk around in complete darkness and still be able to see fairly well. I'd hate for them to be some cheap shoddy product that doesn't really do the job that well or something that requires a lifetime supply of batteries to work for more than 20 minutes.
Any word on a price for this yet? Can't help but feel it will be somewhat more than the regular collector's edition price for most games.
Holy shit, NVG's?! Count me in, for sure. I'm assuming this will come with a hefty price tag, but I want some NOD's!
" @Mordukai: Yeah, that is annoying that they would exclude the PS3 version like that. >__> I don't have a PS3 yet, and even if I did, I would get it on my 360, but seeing them, obviously try and hurt Sony is annoying.My guess is 150-180 smackers.

" And here we are again with Activision and Infinity Ward playing favorites. You are still part of the problem. Here is one customer who won't be buying a copy of your game. I think instead my money will go towards Uncharted 2. "Here we see uncharted playing favourites to the PS3. There still part of the problem .

im getting the hardened edition.... i really dont see the point to the night vision goggles.... i would never use them even tho its mostly for show but o well......
im hoping that the hardened edition is 70$ or less. i could see the other one being 120$
Really good night vision googles cost thousands of dollars. I doubt these would be very good but it is a neat idea.

" @MasterOfPenguins_Zell: I don't call that playing favorites though, but ok I guess. I swear though, it seems like people find anything they can to complain about. "Yeah, but he does have a point. The last two iterations of CoD came out on the PS3, and I think some PS3 owners think that Activision is rubbing it in there face that they aren't talking about the PS3 version, if there is one. And sort of saying that they will do just fine with only the 360 and PC versions.
" @MB: That or they will do the job but run out of battery 'juice' within 20 minutes of use. So you end up buying more batteries than you have storage for just so you can watch the girl next door undress at 11pm every night except Thursday when she stays over at her boyfriends.....Seriously that is all I can think of for people to use these for even if they do work. How many of us regular folks really need NV-Goggles? A nice selling point but not exactly something I'd want from a collector's edition for a game like this. I was expecting something a little more cooler that could be appreciated, not a gimmick. "Exactly. This "Prestige" edition is a serious waste of money. On top of being overpriced junk, there is nothing collectible about these limited editions of games at all, as evidenced by the Halo 3 Legendary edition.

Don't you think I know that. Do you really think my ego is that big that me not buying this game will effect the enormous amounts of money this game will make.

"Ok, I can see what you mean. I still don't think it's a 'playing favorites' thing though. I think they are targetting the console that they plan on making the most money with. I also don't see how showing a picture of the Xbox version of the game makes any difference at all. Personally I plan on buying the PS3 version because I know that's the console my friends are getting it on. I couldn't care less which version they show in the video because I know which one I will be buying. But I guess that's just me.

" lol so all the COD nerds are going to be walking around with NVGs. I'm glad they don't give any in-game bonuses with the special editions, so I don't feel the slightest urge to buy anything more than the plastic box with the game inside. "Darn right, I'ma strap em to one of my penguins faces, screw leaving it on Soap!
" Exactly. This "Prestige" edition is a serious waste of money. On top of being overpriced junk, there is nothing collectible about these limited editions of games at all, as evidenced by the Halo 3 Legendary edition. "Don't need game packages to prove that. Just ask these fellas.
Anyone know if these are gonna be infrared night vision like modern camcorders have, or real night vision? I'm guessing infrared because it'll be a lot cheaper for them.
Not too keen on the infrared type, but it's cool being able to see through Coca Cola and watching remote controls light up.
edit : If you watch the video you can see what look like LEDs near the front. Probably infrared LEDs...
I am buying the prestige edition, i always wanted Night vision goggles but never really shop for them, this is my chance+it comes with one of my favourite game and COD1.
I expect the price of this to be on par with the legendary of halo 3
