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'd definitely buy it, because I'm for useless junk. Besides, I'd totally run outside with night-vision goggles on, and look like a tool in the process. The price is a big factor, though, I really don't want to spend too much over $100. Take Halo 3 Legendary Edition for a example, piece of shit helmet that was utterly useless.

Hmmm. Seems good. But will there be a PC Prestige edition? Cause I like NVGs, but I'm not gonna buy a 360 game when I don't own a 360.

I don't know if I will be willing shell out the money necessary to purchase that edition.  Plus, there are so many other games coming out this fall that I want to buy as well.

I think it's worth, at the very least, mentioning that export/sale of anything a la NVESD is illegal under federal law. So, whatever you're getting in this package, it is a far cry from what most people hope it is; sorry.

Okay... I'll admit it.  I wanna run outside with my fully functioning, Modern Warfare & IW branded night vision goggles on.  Seriously... I'm getting absolutely unreasonably giddy.  I hope they're not in super limited supply.

*Slow Clap* Good job guys. I wasn't going to buy this game but now i am. Unless its like $200 for the night vision version. If it's $100-$130 i will def be getting it. But only if their is a PC version as i refuse to play shooters on a console again. Also this wins my best collectors edition of a game award ever made. Previously held by halo 3 for the spartan helmet. Which of course as will be the same with this game is the only reason i bought it.

The NVG's quality are going to be so terrible. I really wonder what the "at cost" price is compared to the "retail" price.

Those better be real working NVG's or I'm going to have to get realll pissed off.  Maybe they're like those new affordable ones that come out for like 50-100$ recently, or they're just trash...but the game should be fun!! :D
