Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition Has No Equal [Update]
Just when you thought collector editions of your favorite games couldn’t get any more ridiculous or awesome, Infinity Ward has officially redefined what it means to be hardcore. Though a Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been shown as well, the Prestige Edition contains a multitude of items that make both the Normal and Hardened editions look pretty much worthless.
The most notable element of this extravagant product are the night vision goggles, which are fully functional. It’s the first time (at least as far as we can tell) where a collector’s item actually had real world value, assuming the people that buy it carry out night time missions every once in a while. Infinity Ward was kind enough to include “Soap” MacTavish’s head as a stand for the goggles whenever they’re not in use.
The Prestige Edition also contains the Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 2, which includes The Artwork of MW2 and a metal tin, the Modern Warfare 2 game itself, and a token to download a free copy of the original Call of Duty game off either PlayStation Network or Xbox Live. Check out Robert Bowling’s official unveiling video down below, and let us know how much you think the Prestige Edition will cost.
Update:
“A to some of your Q’s – Prestige Edition suggested retail is $149 & yes, the COD Classic on XBLA & PSN does have full MP.”
“The token to download the original Call of Duty on XBLA or PSN will be in the Hardened & Prestige Editions. Hardened is $80.”

Wow impressive……….might be a little too expensive for my tastes though, lol.
July 14th, 2009 at 12:03 AM
not interested…….. seams like a waste of money unless you truly WILL use the night goggles.

still not buying this due to the fact that Activision is on my ’shit list’. is it jus me, or does Robert sound like total douche in the vid? i love how they cut that video to shit with a meat cleaver. it looked unprofessional and funny as hell.

Humm… now I can find things when the lights go out cause we didn’t pay the light bill after buying the prestige edition.

Looks very intruiging. I would love to see some footage of things on a bonus DVD/Blu-ray disc though as well.
I’d say around $169.00

I won’t buy it, but the game nerd in me thinks it’s pretty cool
just add a laser pointer to the goggles and its complete.
I’ll say 149.00 and they sell out on amazon during christmas buying season
July 14th, 2009 at 9:37 AM

Wow that’s pretty cool… but I bet its’ price tag will be it’s own downfall. I’ll be buying the regular edition, though, on day 1.
July 14th, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Those are monocular NVGs , as in they will have no depth perception at all.
So if you do use them u will fall down stairs and bump into stuff so no thanks.
July 14th, 2009 at 4:55 PM
I think its gonna be like $120 like the halo 3 legendary edition with the Master Chief helmet
NVM 150 omg..
July 14th, 2009 at 5:21 PM
$150?
That’s pretty good. I was expecting it over $200.
July 14th, 2009 at 5:40 PM
