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**](http://videogames.yahoo.com/ps3/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**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMSS12iY1X0), 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**](http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/halo-3/)'s infamous [**cat helmet**](http://xbox.joystiq.com/2006/10/28/halo-3-lengendary-editon-includes-cat-helmet/), [**The Sims 3**](http://videogames.yahoo.com/pc/the-sims-3/)'s [**plumbob-shaped USB drive**](http://kotaku.com/5063688/the-sims-3-collectors-edition-detailed), and [**Fallout 3**](http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/fallout-3/)'s [**oversized watch and bobble-head doll**](http://www.video-game-schwag.com/2008/07/15/fallout-3-your-very-own-pip-boy-3000/), 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.

I will be getting this. The goggles are probably pretty cheesy but I’m way too much of a CODhead to pass this up. ---

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. ---

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. [http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3073332](http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3073332) ![http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-4651190_alternate2_reg.jpg](http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-4651190_alternate2_reg.jpg) 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. ---

They dont sound like true nightvision. Just sounds like a video camera that picks up IR and then a few IR LED’s on the front. Just like the hand held video cameras with IR viewing. They don’t amplify light like night vision, they just use light the human eye cant see. Waste of money IMO. I will just be getting the game. ---

I am more interested in the coupon for the original CoD. Does anyone still have it? I haven’t played that shit in years.
