The Goggles look worse than I thought.
 
I would absolutely kill for a pair that looked exactly like the ones Sam Fisher wears in Splinter  Cell.
 
They should do a prestige version for that game. THEY MUST

Thanks, guys, for making me wish I'd gotten the Prestige Edition. Actually, I'm now going to go look for some "real" NVG's.

If you have the cash to blow, why not? The young ones will eat this shit up. The ones who have served will break out their real ones. The rest of us nerds... well, it's a new gadget. 
 
I liked the honesty and fun of it all. Great job. Have fun with your games.

I really will be sad if MW2 takes GOTY over Dragon Age Origins. DAO is just such a great game, and has so much more longevity than any fps (well, except Team Fortress 2 anyway).

Anyone know what song that was in the background?  It seems familiar.   I sounds like something that would be in bioshock but I think its sorta recent...

It's a good thing all people care about with games is pwning noobs and bragging online about it, and not having fun or anything.

Who's braging?
I said many mouse users, I ain't buying this...
 
I just know if the communities are merged it WILL favor the PC users.
That's just a fact.

I know, right. 
After all those "mail bag" videos where they use their keys.

They'll have them when Jeff's arrives from Amazon.

Hey at least in the US it only costs $160.
 
I wanted to make a Christmas present for my little bro (13) who is in a different country then me at the moment and has no access to new game releases. Here in Cyprus (where I am working atm) I went to the local game store and wanted to get him something extra besides just the game that i know he wants.
So I asked the store if they have any of these special packages available...
 
Take a guess how much they said it was.
 
Come on I dare you.
 
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY EUROS ... 250 euro folks
 
Now THAT is a ripoff gentlemen! Not only that but they don't even have them in stock on hand and you have to order and wait. Seriously I hope it's not like that for the rest of EU. I know Steam rips people off by selling game sat rates $1=1euro but this was insane. Needless to say I just bought him the standard edition for his Xbox. As a PC gamer myself I'm pissed about no mod support or dedicated servers, plus only 5 hour singleplayer, not buying a version for myself. I'll keep playing my 100+ hours Dragon Age and some Borderlands.

It is a feature in iTunes.
 
To all the "it is a waste of money" people. I agree. The same could be said of video games. That said, I bought the prestige edition of MW2. Who cares if it is a waste of money if it is all in good fun? That's kinda the point. I don't go on the Crocs forum and make fun of your shoes.
