Modern Warfare 2 To Ship With Mother Effing Night Vision Goggles

Regular, Hardened, and Prestige editions give you a choice this November.

Dude, the high-end edition of Modern Warfare 2 is going to come with functioning night vision goggles. That's the mostest baddest-assest game pack-in thing of all time. I wonder if they'll fit on my Master Chief helmet...

The goggles ship with the highest version, the "Prestige" edition. A lesser edition called "Hardened" will also be available for $79.99. Both of those will come with a download token for Call of Duty Classic, a downloadable version of the first COD game, as well as an art boox and some other stuff.

Check out this video of Robert Bowling unboxing this thing for more details, and notice that only the standard edition seems to say "Call of Duty" on ithe box.

I don't think adding two small stickers makes them any better. Seems like a lazy ass collectors edition. Doubt that will stop people from buying it though.

Douche chills. This is the era of consoles we're in folks, where plastic toys are marketed to 13 year olds instead of the actual video game. It's like the McDonald's Happy Meal! You don't just get the same shit you've seen a million times before, but you get a cheap, plastic children's toy with it!

I notice he neglected to mention a price... $129? Night vision goggles are undeniably awesome, but fuck no I would pay money to have some cheap ones sitting on a gray, tiny head molded after a game character. Now if there was a dinosaur...

Unless CoDC is gonna be $20 you'd be better of buying that separately rather than the "Hardened" edition. Because let's be honest, no one really cares about an art boox.

The hardened edition looks cool with the original Call of Duty included and much better box art!

don't know if this has been mentioned, but anyone else notice how the two collector's editions don't carry the Call of Duty logo above the Modern Warfare 2 logo?  that would seem to confirm it was slapped on all last-minute-like on the standard retail box.

i might have to change my preorder to the hardened edition... although i'm assuming that the original CoD will be available on xbla/psn around the same time that MW2 comes out.

I'm still gonna get the regular edition. I don't think I need night vision googles. Even if they are just for showing off.

I have the $80 one pre-ordered. I think the goggles will cost too much and I'm not gonna bother.

Pretty lame, especially how he treats the regular edition, like it was garbage.  You cunts are making the most money off that regular edition, since it will make up 90% of your sales.  You should think a little more highly of it than casually tossing it aside.

The amount of games coming out at that time is always stupid, and the money that would cost is likely equal to buying another game, so go with the regular and pick up another game too.  Save the plastic toys for the kids.

There are many times when my rabbits escape out of their hutches late at night when the lights are out, instead of tripping over bricks and bushes I could use these to navigate my garden and catch the offending rabbits.

You know your company is making too much money when you can authorize the production of functioning night vision googles for your collector's edition. This level of opulence is a little disconcerting.

At least it's better than a cat-sized MC helmet. I really can't imagine them being FULLY working NVG's though. Don't they cost like $500 or something?

I really hope my Walmart gets in a few of these. I live in a small mining town where barely anybody plays video games. However my Walmart got the legendary Halo 3 and GTA 4 collectors editions, so hopefully if I camp outside I can get this sweet shit. Oh Man this might be the best collectors edition I ever seen.

Fucking ridiculous... Maybe next time we can get action figures or better yet a full sized toy gun!!! 

Come on IW... seriously do you guys have absolutely no ethical standards? Every time I declare you sell outs, you find a new and hideous way of lowering the bar.  But props of CoD "Classic". The original CoD is still my favorite game of this decade, and giving the younger kids a chance to play it is such a great idea.... It just a shame that you rape the fuck outta the series over the pasted six years....

No prestige on Amazon, but the other 2 are there w/release date delivery.  I'm just curious how much....if those goggles are functional they are very expensive...hhhhmmmm..this edition must be another retailer specific limited release i guess.
