I love shooting things and grinding and stuff in a good looking yet utterly generic shooter, so of course I also want night vision to come with the generically-similar and equally rubbish sequel! OMG SO COOOL! I can wear them and look like a prick with too much money. AWESOME!
Special editions are for those gamers who want to pay the developers just that bit extra to have a piece of worthless tat. Well, that’s not true, they are there to make you think you want the worthless tat, when if fact it’s just the publisher wanting to sell you more stuff to make more money. Oh look, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes with some branded night vision goggles in its Special Prestige Edition. Night vision goggles. They come with their own display head too, for when you realise you don’t want to actually wear them.
Sigh. Yes I am indeed a burned out husk of a person incapable of comprehending fun, and yes running around with what looks like a toilet paper tube stuck on your face could conceivably be cool, once, if you’re six. You are not in the special ops*, you never will be.
*If you are in special ops, disregard that sentence.

Wouldn’t they have been better off slapping these with Splinter Cell, oh, wait a minute different developer and publisher!
Thing is, no one has written how much this is going to cost since a decent pair of NV goggles ain’t cheap, might come in handy for a zombie apocalyse though.
I’d love to have sat in on the meeting at IW where the Activision rep said they were doing this.
Special Editions are a tax on the gullible and the stoooopid.
If a game is good then the special editions can be a nice bonus if the price is reasonable.
Whatever the cost of this one it will save me money on light bulbs in the long term.
Hey, are you a perverted voyeur who looks at people at night when they can’t see you? Then you’ll LOVE Modern Warfare 2: Prestige edition!
I can’t wait for the special edition of rapelay 2 coming with girls to rape. It will be so awesome.

@Philbart999: i think there a tad bit gay iw really have have outdone them selfs with this one i hate them so much they ruined thre whole cod. cod 2 was the best
I googled the details of the prestige pack and I came across this sh!t. Sweet Jesus, what a waste of 3 minutes of my life.
Don’t worry John, you don’t need NVG to look like a prick.
@adam:
CoD2 was def awesome. :)
Are you an Emo cause you cant say 1 nice thing, i for one is getting that along with many others, it’s not cos you don’t like them, it’s cos your too poor to afford them.
@Jay: it’ll cost $149.99 or £149.99 only available in UK from HMV
@Ollie: No, it’s because they’re rubbish. And I say that as someone who has enough money to have bought quite a few Special Editions in my time, and will probably get a few more.
@Ollie: im not getting it not because i cant afford it, its because why would u want those they look yacky as hell and unless ur a 5 yr old or a stalker wats the point oh and im not emo
i play alot of airsoft and the concept of getting a (hopefully) decent pair of NVG’S is awesome so i could play some night games so it would great to buy the prestige edition
i get issued them so who cares?
john your a prick, right up there with the ecyclopedia dramatica guys, i already have a jaded view of humanity and when i read BULLSH** like this it just reafirms this, the ignorance and stupidity displayed by people like you is simply astounding.
@RogueWeazel: *you’re
This is the world people! this is how sales work! no matter how much bitching you all do, this is still guna sell, so why bitch? you just making your own lives a misery! you complain and you eventually die… you don’t complain and you eventually die, so why complain? you are all pessimists! look at the good! makers get a well earned royalty, and why not? well deserved. it doesn’t exactly take two weeks to make? how would you like it if random people desided to tell your boss to pay you less for your hard working job? i thought about these goggles from all views and can see that you guys only looking it is from 1 view. a view of nerds trying not to be nerds by not swallowing your pride and trying to act all hard ass. dumb asses! open your eyes! its a good deal! just go and ask the army how much they get there goggles for! can assure you its alot more than 150bucks!
@W00DY: Dito. We all secretly want to buy the damn goggles, cause a tiny part of us thinks they may be cool. But we know they will be cr@p (simply a plastic lens with LED’s that physically light a couple of metres in front of you!), and a complete waste of money, so does that give us the right to rip people who have hope to shreds? Everybody go watch Star Wars and STFU.
I dont get your point of view, just cause your a dork, and mad at the world does’nt mean you should hack on someone for getting this package. No one is telling you NOT to go buy a blow up doll, so why are you telling people they’re stupid for getting this package. I know… you’re a sad nerd whos mommy said NO when you asked. Just go lock your self in your room and dont eat until she gets it for you. complain about something worth while you waste of space
The goggles actually work quite well. I just read a review that has actual pictures and everything. http://hubpages.com/hub/Modern-Warfare-2-Prestige-Edition-Night-Vision-Goggles-NVG-Review
