Dear God in heaven. I want this.
How much is that in Canuck dollars, Actiblizzard?
Morisato @ Jul 14th 2009 7:15AM
Everyone seems to be one upping each other with these special edition packages... seriously... though I see the obvious relation between the item and the game, it seems completely out of place to package functional NVGs with a video game, but with that said, I hope that the next MGS comes with an actual handgun or better yet, the stealth suit.... sweeeeeeet.

"Modern Warfare 2: Peeping-Tom Edition"
Platinum_Skeet @ Jul 14th 2009 11:51AM
If this is less than $200 its worth the buy...
Spartan @ Jul 14th 2009 11:57AM
I wonder how many people wil try to play the game with the goggles on, go blind, and try to sue afterwards?
Silencio @ Jul 14th 2009 3:49PM
@platinum
Yeah, if you're in the market for some nvgs, which I ain't.
Markez @ Jul 13th 2009 9:49PM
Holy balls. At least this way, I guess if you're gaming with the lights off you'll at least be able to distinguish whether your buddy is snacking on cheetos or funyons.
Ballistic H @ Jul 13th 2009 11:07PM
And all of a sudden, someone turns the lights on...
Strategy_Panda @ Jul 13th 2009 11:10PM
Wow..... that is all
Markez @ Jul 13th 2009 11:14PM
Heeeeyyyy there, look who it is. Long time no see, pal, how goes it?
Sly @ Jul 13th 2009 11:48PM
it's... panda... holy shit...
Ballistic H @ Jul 14th 2009 2:05AM
More like "Gaaaaaah, my eyes". Guess you people are dumb. Lights through night vision anyone? Like the flash of a flashbang? Anyone? Stupid that I had to explain.
Sly @ Jul 14th 2009 3:10AM
no one asked you to explain...
Strategy_Panda @ Jul 14th 2009 10:20PM
yea, I don't have much free time these days. Haven't even touched a game in about three months.
See you all when there is a story posted about the upcoming Mechwarrior game.
Keep up the funny... toodles.
KeegdnaB @ Jul 13th 2009 9:49PM
damn
Latin_Trident @ Jul 14th 2009 5:30PM
anybody else besides me find it kinda scary that the game costs $20 less than a new arcade 360 via dell.com?
oh well, I'll be like that mouse that sees the cheese on the mousetrap and goes for it anyway.
*SNAP*
Obie @ Jul 13th 2009 9:50PM
HOLY CRAP!
Now THAT is a Special edition!
Play the game, AND check out the cheerleading camp at night?
Sold!
i.c. weiner @ Jul 13th 2009 9:58PM
what kind of cheerleading camp practices at night?
Jack_Jackington @ Jul 13th 2009 9:59PM
The best kind!!
Unplugged @ Jul 13th 2009 10:00PM
The sexy ones.
Night Elve @ Jul 13th 2009 10:20PM
I already wet my pants two times =| ... Yeah that's a special edition which hopefully I will get if my economy allows me such thing.
BananaBoat @ Jul 13th 2009 11:26PM
Oh the things I hope they do at night at Cheerleader camp.....
*sigh*
Markez @ Jul 13th 2009 11:36PM
I've heard all they really do at night is play Jenga and debate which Star Trek captain was the best.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 13th 2009 11:44PM
Eh Markez,you are looking at the wrong direction.
BananaBoat @ Jul 13th 2009 11:54PM
With my extensive knowledge of camp and camp movies, I've deduced that he is actually looking across the lake at the band camp.
Sly @ Jul 14th 2009 1:51AM
bananaboat, NEVER talk about band camp.
dblakenz @ Jul 14th 2009 3:23AM
lol this is why I love this site
Markez @ Jul 14th 2009 5:14AM
Dunno ESC, if I take my eyes off these dames, I'll miss some sick cribbage pointers. These broads know what they're doing....
WINterfang @ Jul 13th 2009 9:51PM
HOLY SHIT!!!
rooshma @ Jul 13th 2009 9:51PM
Let's just hope this doesn't go the Fable 2 route:
"For just $50 extra you can download a picture of these goggles, and have a slightly different package."
carmaction @ Jul 14th 2009 2:52AM
Whoa whoa, wait. You can change your package in Fable 2? And here I've been struttin' around with my normal groinpiece.
LuiginDaisy @ Jul 13th 2009 9:51PM
HOW MUCH? It better not be more than $200.
Obie @ Jul 13th 2009 9:55PM
True, as awesome as it is...$199.99...that's my limit!
i.c. weiner @ Jul 13th 2009 9:58PM
there is no way in hell i am spending more than 60 dollars for a game. 200? that's half of what my ps3 cost for one game and some gimmicks? please
Mana37 @ Jul 13th 2009 10:24PM
If these are real NVGs they'll be worth more!!!!!!
Price of another console!!
dylan @ Jul 13th 2009 10:50PM
Night vision toy goggles on Amazon are about 75 bucks, so I'd say they are gonna charge about 150.00 for it. Maybe 200
Cr4sh Dummy @ Jul 13th 2009 11:00PM
People are confirming on IW's site that Prestige edition will cost $150.
mahouneko @ Jul 14th 2009 12:28AM
Guys, Robert Bowling already mentioned that those are FULLY FUNCTIONING Night Vision Goggles (NVG). Those are REAL NVGs even though the whole Prestige Edition sounds gimmicky.
picasotriggerfish @ Jul 14th 2009 12:49PM
If it is under $500 then it's going to be the crappiest 1st gen NVG's ever imagined
JXCgunrunna @ Jul 15th 2009 8:49AM
not true, there are some decent ones for about 80 bucks. by that i mean you can actually see in the dark with them.
Bird @ Aug 10th 2009 2:25PM
Mana37:
I hope you are kidding.
Special editions are the stupidest shite in the universe.
StLouisRibs7734 @ Jul 13th 2009 9:51PM
HOLY SHIT!!
Sly @ Jul 13th 2009 10:56PM
GOD DAMN!
JXCgunrunna @ Jul 14th 2009 8:48AM
MOTHER FUCKER
protofunc @ Jul 14th 2009 1:12PM
SON OF A BITCH!!
FOXHOUND @ Jul 14th 2009 5:31PM
RHOMBUS!!!!1!!
JXCgunrunna @ Jul 16th 2009 11:41AM
Foxhound, is that you buddy? The same foxhound from IW's forums?
godlovesugly @ Jul 13th 2009 9:52PM
Plastic goggles with LEDs around the "lens" doesn't make them a pair of night vision goggles.
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Jul 13th 2009 10:08PM
Just so you know, there is no difference whatsoever between consumer-level and military-issued NVDs. Hell, the tech in kid's NVG toys is the same as the military ones.
Cr4sh Dummy @ Jul 13th 2009 11:09PM
I concur, these are definetly not military grade NVGs.
