Probably one of the coolest “Editions” of a game I have ever seen. Interesting to see which model goggles they go with.
When the anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released on November 10, its $150 Prestige Edition will include what’s surely the most extravagant bundled bonus ever – a fully-functioning pair of night-vision goggles.
An Activision community manager made the announcement in a Youtube video, where he unboxes and shows off the goggles, which carry the game’s branding. The Prestige Edition also includes a head-shaped display stand for the goggles, an art book, and fancy limited-edition packaging.
Modern Warfare 2’s night-vision specs will join a proud tradition of crazy video game pack-ins, including Halo 3's infamous cat helmet, The Sims 3's plumbob-shaped USB drive, and Fallout 3's oversized watch and bobble-head doll, which was featured in the game, too.
It’ll retail at $150, and considering that even basic night vision goggles easily run over $100 on their own, it actually sounds like a pretty good deal. All the same, as far as we can determine, it’s the most expensive retail video game bundle in history, discounting games that came with their own custom controllers.
So if you’re keen to play Modern Warfare 2 (as the follow-up to easily the best game of '07, you should be) and you’re keen to spy on your neighbors, you’d better get saving.
Yea thats what I’m on the fritz about. Will they actually be cheesy like the halo helmet? Or will they actually be something going for? They could just be regular goggles with green tinted lenses. Who knows.
Fully-functional, wearable Night Vision Goggles – features:
See in absolute darkness up to 50 feet
Ability to view in black and white or night vision green
Custom-Designed and painted to replicate the in-game goggles
Wearable, adjustable and hands-free
Here’s some info I found on them. They’re not the greatest by any means. More so a living room ornament than anything. Functional night vision (no matter what the quality > Halo helmet.
I’m pretty sure they are the same as the eyeclops night vision, my son has them. Seems to have the same lenses and switches, but rearranged. They pretty much suck at anything but a toy, and I can’t look through them for more than a minute without going insane.
Those eyeclops POS’s sell for about $75, and being that they are going to bundle all that stuff for $150, hopefully their goggles won’t suck even more.
