I think most collector's edition sets like this one are way over priced for what you get.

Finally watched this, Great nogs, for a hundred dollars.  makes me Wish I had kept my monocle from my last deployment.  by the way there is a reason that night vision goggles cost thousands of dollars.

I just don't get the excitement over a pretty standard multiplayer FPS with a short single player attached to it.

Lol, we've got some stupid peace of crap as a collector's edition in my country. There is a Ghost's mask(which cost 'bout 3 bucks on it's look) and a bracer with MW2 logo. What a rip-off.  Not even in a hard shell.
 
Nice unboxing BTW.

@Phonics:  Yet you cared enough to flame people's opinions. I will agree with you on one thing, what anyone spends their money on is their business.

@Phonics: Are you kidding? $150 game about shooting people in the face and is rated M does not directly market to minors. Joe Camel selling you cigarettes this ain't. Do you work for Fox News?
 
And really? You want to complain about the Soap head? The thing you put the goggles on when you aren't messing with them? I really hope you are just trolling MW2 posts and not that bitter. Which judging by your past posts seems to be what you are doing.

NVGs are as much as waste of money as the videogame they come packaged with - both are frivolous expenses. Calling someone dumb for buying something that they wanted just makes you look like you are crying over something you couldn't afford. "
Are you kidding me? Guess who this NVG business is obivously ment to attract? Thats right, people who dont earn their own money aka kids. It would be a different story if that statue of Soap (doesen't look like Soap at all like they mentioned in the video) wasnt so poor quality.

No, it is available on Mac. There is a screensaver option named iTunes Artwork in your System Preferences.

The Soap figure is scary. You'd have to be a serioussssssss fan to appreciate that. Reminds me of the pendant I got when I picked up Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Compete.

If those night vision goggles could shoot lasers, I would buy it. Until then, sorry Activision.

if you really really want NVG's, buy a normal version of the game, keep the 100$ you'd spend on the prestige edition, save up some extra cash and go buy a decent one in a hicking shop or army surpluss shop or whatever

That Apple ripped off from the Zune software where that feature has been around (and works/looks much better anyway) since like 2006/7. 
 
 (I say ripped off because most iPod/Apple fanatics swear that Microsoft "rips off" everything they do from Apple)

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.
