UPDATE: The "Prestige Edition" of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" will set you back $149, according to Infinity Ward. Hey, I was pretty close!
Original Story: Screw cloth maps and vinyl figurines. Activision has managed to trump even the most ridiculous special edition pack-ins with the newly announced "Prestige Edition" for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." Yes, those are real, honest-to-goodness, working, night vision goggles.
Like "Fallout 3," it seems there will be several tiers of "Special Editions" for "Modern Warfare 2." The normal edition will run you $60, while the "Hardened Edition" is $80 and comes with DVDs and art books and a code to download the original "Call of Duty" on XBLA and PSN. The "Prestige Edition," which runs a mysterious dollar amount that Acitivison hasn't shared yet, comes with all of the above, as well as the goggles.
A quick search online reveals that you can nab pretty decent night vision goggles for about 80 bucks, so figure you're gonna have to drop around $160 for the Stalk---um Prestige Edition.
