K thanks for the response. On kotaku there guessing 150.00 or 189.99 it looks. i’m hoping not but it does look nice! and there isn’t any online perks to this? like with WaW there was EXP bonus i think or a gun at beginning. Still doesn’t beat this edition, Thanks MD2 devs and co creators.

Holy Sh** NVG!? Infinity Ward is treating us reaaaal nicely, even if the game would probably cost more than Rock Band and Guitar Hero combined…

ditto ****head to the full MP on cod1

@mbove,
hell no i tried them and they are great ****
[Reply]
I really hope that Prestige Edition is available in the UK. It looks awesome worth every penny.
[Reply]
@mbove – Its all a scam? Fake NVG’s?
Dood, watch the video again.
[Reply]
i nvr said it was fake, i was just asking for some feedback thats all, and where can i get this
[Reply]
its infinity ward how could they scam millions of people
[Reply]
Hardened is likely what I’ll be going with, my current pair of night vision goggles are still in good working order.
[Reply]
Shyt is DOpe !
[Reply]
damn shame proper NVGs are not allowed in australia, maybe it wont ship to australia. then again, to cost 149$ US would mean they would be not the best of quality NVG’s so maybe that would allow it…lol will proly still buy hardened though haha, has all the stuff you need, just no NVGs, and in my budget range!

@theawesomeone,
yo dude I’m in melbourne and yes i have preordered the game and yes comes with the NVG THAT KICK ASS i got it from game traders but u maybe able 2 get them from eb games
[Reply]
well ****head your the one sayin how much is it and it says how much it is on the page jackass
[Reply]
So the only difference in the hardened edition and the prestige edition is the goggles, rite?
[Reply]
why would i even need night vision goggles anyway. i just want the disk =p
[Reply]
Already prepaid the prestige edition….what i want to know is; are there going to be any Day 1 advantages i.e. high level weaponry or perks available?

@Hadou1 – Nothing like that has been announced.

These NVG’s do not appear to be fake from the limited visuals in the video. They appear to be the original Generation 0 tech first used in WW2. Those LED’s project an infared beam (imagine a tv remote) that bounces off objects and is converted to an image by the NVG lens. Cheap to make, limited in range (less than 50 feet) but definately functional. US military currently use generation 4 NVG’s which cost thousands of dollars and do not require an ir illuminator. For the display factor alone, i reckon your getting a pretty good deal. Either way, IW wouldn’t risk the publicity by stating they are functional and then releasing fakes. Don’t expect military specced NVG’s and you wont be dissapointed.
[Reply]
With the NVG’s be illegal in OZ, these use the same old school tech available in manyh kids “spy” toys which are available in OZ, so i dont see it as an issue. I recon if anything OZ will get shafted with the number of available prestige editions, as OZ are generally an afterthough after the UK and US markets.
