I didn’t think I needed night vision goggles until yesterday, when Infinity Ward unveiled the super-spectacular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 “Prestige Edition.” How much will it cost? $149, according to Infinity Ward.
In case you’re out of the loop, here’s what you get for 149 bones: Modern Warfare 2, an art book, a metal case, a reedemable code for Call of Duty classic, working night vision goggles, and a head to put the goggles on (that’s not your own).
Don’t need the goggles, or not in the market to blow $149? Try to “Hardened Edition,” which will run you $80, and featuring pretty much every but the night vision goggles, which are apparently worth $70. A quick Google product search tells us that you can spend anywhere from $11,982.95 on a pair of night vision goggles, to one dollar for a thriller novel called Night Vision by Paul Levine. Where this puts the “Prestige Edition” goggles in the spectrum of quality is unclear.
Also clarified is some information about the digital download Call of Duty — it will feature multiplayer. But you’ll be too busy playing Modern Warfare 2 instead, right?
