Modern Warfare 2’s Prestige Edition to Make Your Wallet $149 Lighter
by Demi Adejuyigbe on July 14, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Yesterday, we brought you an unboxing video of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition, courtesy of Infinity Ward community manager fourzerotwo. The Prestige Edition was fully packed, with an art book, a copy of the game, a download code for COD Classic on XBLA and/or PSN, and a pair of night vision goggles. Ridiculous, right? Of course, with the inclusion of night vision goggles, everyone assumed this bundle would skyrocket into the $300 range easily, but fourzerotwo & Infinity Ward announced today on Twitter the actual price at $149.99 for both PS3 & Xbox 360 versions.
While I’m glad it’s not two kajillion dollars like our in-house analyst had predicted, $149 is still a lot to pay for a game bundle. I’ll probably be picking it up, provided I have the cash in November when it’s released, but that’s because I can think of 149 different uses for the goggles. What about you guys? Is anyone willing to plunk down a Benjamin and a Grant* on the full Prestige Edition, or will you just go for the $60 regular edition/$80 Hardened Edition?
*I promise, I’ll stop talking in dead presidents… eventually.

It looks awesome, but something tells me it won't be coming to Australia :( And even if it does, the exchange rate probably rules me out when it comes to affordability. *Gazes longingly….*

Go put this shit in garbage. Yeah, for 2 thinks extra things pat 150 USD. That's pretty smart. Just get the game and thats all.

I may have been wrong about the two kajillion dollars, but I was right about probably being wrong. That counts for something, right?
Right?

That's only £90 or so here- about £50 more than the cost of a full price game. £50 for night vision goggles? Methinks that either it's a bloody good deal or they are a cheapo crappy pair of goggles.

I reckon they're not really night vision googles. – Just a pair of glasses with a torch ducktaped to the side of it….
