Modern Warfare 2 ups the ante with its Collector’s Edition

Yep, that thing you are currently gazing upon is in fact a videogame.

To be more specific, it’s the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2, complete with working night vision goggles, Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition, and finally, your very own Soap MacTavish head.

No word on pricing yet, but does that collection of goodies look inexpensive? I didn’t think so. Besides this and the standard $60 version of the game, there’s also going to be a Hardened Edition, which includes an art book, metal casing, and a redeemable code for the upcoming digital download release of Call of Duty.

It seems a little odd to me that all of the different versions shown are of the Xbox 360 variety, but Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling mentions these games are hot off production, and the very first of their kind.

If I were your accountant, I’d warn that A) purchasing this extravagant item is fiscally irresponsible and B) if you can’t resist its charm, you have until November 10. Start saving up now.
