Infinity Ward: Prestige Edition Very Limited, Sold Out in UK

179
Dan Webb

Infinity Ward's Community Manager, Robert Bowling, recently stated that the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition isn't going to make the same mistake that the Halo 3 Legendary Edition made and will be limited, with Infinity Ward already refusing to respond to the huge retailer demand.

Bowling told IGN, "we've already been asked by retailers to up the production numbers due to demand, which we immediately denied."

"We decided from the beginning that we want this to be for the hardcore fans and early adopters. The fact that it is actually limited is one of the coolest parts, which is why we've individually numbered every copy." 

In other Prestige Edition news, it now appears that the UK's exclusive stockist, HMV, has stopped taking pre-orders after selling its pre-order allocation. So if you're in the UK and hadn't had chance to pre-order - like myself - then eBay after launch is probably your best bet now.

  • ha ha ha
  • Bad news for real fans who might have missed this. Good news for me as i got one early and it will actually be a limited edition!
  • i only ordered the hardened edition
  • lol that sucks, hope i pay mine off soon! :P
  • Still does not change the fact its a big turd with cheapy parts and stickers.
  • yeah me too
  • @#2 A real fan is a guy that geninley enjoys the game / series. Not someone with a huge bucket of money. And the bullshit about same mistake as Halo Legendary? Wtf IW that was not a mistake. Your the one that is losing out on the cash here. You could easily release NONE numbered ones for a tenner less.
  • guess thats me out :( meh i agree with #4 tho ill just get myself the hardened edition :/
  • got mine ordered yipee ;p
  • dang i wanted one
  • Like im going to be looking at the box when the game is out anyway.
  • more money than sense if you ask me...way too much money for some cheap toy thet you will play around with then put back in the box never to be touched again. even £70 is too much for the hardened in my opinion.
  • waste of money in the first place
  • how many was made then? 10k.. 20k
  • Some people have more money than sense.
  • NVG that work aswell as 2 baked bean cans straped to your head keep your crap i just want the disk dont even need the Book,Box,Tin or artwork keep it Activison.
  • P.S People that have bought it YOU MUGS!!!
  • no big loss as the goggles supplied will be of major shit quality (decent ex military nvgs cost a shit load of money) and just to let people know its against the law to use nvgs in residential areas in the uk (privacy act 2005 up to two years in prison if proven you were invading someones privacy immediate confiscation as well) going to piss myslef laughing at all the twelve year olds getting there early christmas presents confiscated by plod
  • Infinity Ward's first mistake ever! They will be pissing off so many people they don't even know. This is like when AT&T decided to ban 4chan for awhile. Thank IW for being the first developer I like to make my icky list, even though I love the games.
  • Congrats for paying out the ass for a over priced game. You can buy the night vision goggles for £40 they just don't have MW2 sticker onit. hahahaha
  • Dont blame Infinty ward its down to Activision.
  • The stupid thing is is that HMV (the only UK retailer able to sell the Prestige edition) allowed one customer to order 3 units!
  • @7 I guess it depends on your perspective of a mistake. IW clearly believe that a mistake was made with the Halo LE and that has to be proved by the sheer number that were left over and going for pennies weeks after launch. Of course more money was made, but it seems that for once a game developer is basing its performance measure on reputation, status and prestige (no pun intended) instead of the usual money grabbing antics. I for one applaud this approach, even though I have missed out by being too slow.
  • I lost interest in this when i realized how over-priced the goggles were, but yay for the people getting what they wanted. ^^
  • Yeah yeah yeah. To those it is a collector's edition, something of value to them, a piece they can say to their mates "hey check this out". At the end of the day it's something cool to have. If you had the money you'd snapped one right up. If you're a "hardcore" cod fan you know you want one. If you're not arsed about it and just want the game, not caring or bothering for collector's edition junk, then go away no one cares about your opinion because no one gives one want YOU collect or pisses on it do they? It goes without a doubt the majority of people pissing and moaning are only jealous they never got a chance to preorder one. To any true gamer it is indeed an awesome cool piece of eye candy, whether it sits there or it's to play with. In fact that makes me laugh, yeah of c
  • So let me get this straight. HMV was the ONLY stockest allowed to sell the Prestige Edition, and not a real game shop, like Gamestation for example?
  • This doesn't effect me at all because, for one, I'm American, but also I am only planning on getting the Hardened Edition since I'm not made of money.
  • This is a load of bullshit. Seriously, don't buy it. I was all like "OMG IM SO BUYING THIS!" at first, and then I realised how much a waste of money it was.
  • *yeah of course the NVG's are only first gens!! Second and third gen NVG's are frigging illegal, strictly prohibited from the public and only allowed for military use! I have the H3 legendary edition, yeah it just sits there as a piece of tasty eye candy and not one bad thing has been said about it by my mates that come round, all I hear is how awesome it is and to that matter it'll be sweet to have those NVG's sitting there next to it. MW2, I cannot wait! Tbh it puts the icing on that ever so tasty cake knowing that so many Prestige's were put out =P @ 23 - it's called first come first serve. Guess that customer want's to horde the item and sell it on for much more than it's worth.
  • I already Pre-Ordered that thing! But I'm still searching for a mistake in this offer...it can't be, that the nightvision goggels are this cheap!
  • @#19 i have to agree wit you dude cos lets face it if nvg only cost bout 100 squid tops every1 who wants a pair wud already have them nd not need the shity pair that comes wit that edition which are about as real as buzz lightyear's laser, come on lets face it u buy for the game nd the game alone nd the majority of people trade games in now so you'll regret buyin it later wen no1 will buy it off u
  • If you bought prestige edition you are either very rich or very stupid. Hardened Edition is £70 and all you get is a Metal Case, Game, Art Book and CoD1 XBLA Code, seriously? Regular edition for me despite being a massive CoD fan.
  • @27: i was wondering that too. Anyways i didnt even want the prestige edition, whether it was a waste of money or not. I mean i like Call of duty games, but im just not that much of a fan, i just enjoy playing the games.
  • If I had the extra money I would've pre-ordered it in a heartbeat, but since I don't, I settled for the hardened Edition. Not much of a loss, no bust of NVG... Life goes on! And the thing about Halo was they made too many of the Legendary Editions and half of them are still sitting in the backroom of game stores or got sent back. So in the end, supply was more than demand and they lost money... get it?
  • Wow, a game that would be hard to fuck up and they found a way without changing the actual game, Trey Arch's crappiness is starting to rub off on Infinity Ward. I was expecting it to be on sale at Game seeing as they are supposed to be the biggest UK gaming shop, why the hell did HMV get exclusivity on it? Might give this one a miss now and spend my £50 on glow-in-the-dark dildos to make my own night vision goggles instead.
  • Who wants all that crap anyway just give me the the game.
  • its all gimmicky bullshit n e way
  • i'm so glade that i pre-ordered this the day it was put up lol, i knew they was only doing limited amounts lol heads why it's called limited edition lol, wasnt guna miss my chance at this awesome package lol
  • its cool idea - but its just too expensive... cant imagine theres taht many people that would be willing to pay that anyways... Hardened Edition is fine by me.
  • Thank god I got mine pre-ordered the second I was able to... Good thing I work at Gamestop. :)
  • Good for anyone who managed to pre-order it in time, however i wasn't that intrested in the prestige editon, i admit it does look great with the NVG's but mainly because i can spend my money on better things, like a few new controller's. After all it's not CoD without it's handcontroller-breaking-stress-inducing veteran campaign or is that just me, lol, :D
  • Infinity Ward always had decent Veteran campaigns, challenging enough to make it worth beating but easy enough to not slit your throat with the game manual. Trey Arch didn't seem to manage that though.
  • I got mine nice to know limited means limited for a change
  • Don't worry Webb, your not missing out on alot those goggles are poor quality anyways.... and Ebayers might try and really rip people off by selling it for like £200
  • @39 You mean your glad your parents pre-ordered it for you. How can i tell? Spelling and grammar my friend. Plus putting 'lol' everywhere helps. Won't be getting this, piece of trash. I won't even get the hardened as thats overpriced for some crappy steelbook, fan art, and some crappy code for Cod1 which will cost 1200 ms points anyway:L Thats coming from a hardcore COD4 fan BTW. Regular game for me me thinks:P
  • MW2 is over priced already. £55 for the basic version of the game (though I doubt some places will sell it for that "full" price) is a total joke. MW, though awesome, isn't that long a game. The multi is fun, but not worth £55. I doubt MW2 will be much different tbh. I will not be buying this until the price drops considerably.
  • Wow, they should change the name of this site to www.whininggamers.com. @36 its probably exclusive because a company pays for the right to sell it exclusive. To those who bought the Prestige congrats on getting it you worked hard for your money or your parents did. I've never bought anything except the reg. $60 version of any game but to each his own, why someone would bash you for spending your own money is pretty pathetic. To those who complain there were not enough, its "limited edition", how long have you had a chance to pre-order this? Its your fault you didn't get it on time or what not, you had a chance to don't blame some one else(Activision).
  • Reg. for me I think. Though I like CoD game (IW) mainly for the Vet campaign rather than MP, I'm not a "hardcore fan". Then again I don't measure the value of a product in "game hours", more like in intensity; fun; et cetera.
  • i love the constant bickering about Halo or COD4 being "better", but um a collector's master chief helmet that cannot be purchased elsewise is a much better collector's item than a pair of shitty night vision goggles. if i wanted night vision goggles, i'd go buy some good ones. if i want a collector's edition video game, i'd like something, you know, collectible. complete bonehead move but i'm sure there are plenty of people that will gobble it up like its gold. doesn't change the fact that you're paying an extra hundred for your obligatory shiny box and some wal-mart goggles. Honestly i thought the canteen that came with the limited WaW was a pretty slick throw-in. that one cost half as much, though. regular edition for me please, keep your trinket goggles.
  • Yeah, well f**k Infinity Ward. Sorry I'm not a Third Class American with 6 jobs, and money up the wazoo... I have a part time job, and $149.99 is hard to put together when you got other things you have to use your money for.
  • aany1 who buys this is a mug
  • it still looks like it is still available look http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=4400;6;-1;-1;-1&sku=44219&WT.ac=HC_FEAT_MODERN_WARFARE_2-PBODY-HC_WARFARE_PROD-44219
  • Why play Modern Warfare 2 While you could instead be wearing cheap Night-vision goggles! :D
  • damn i was going to preorder it friday :( but they still have ps3 ones in stock. so i just preordered that and hardened for 360 with aims to sell ps3 game on
  • i didn't ordered the prestige, in my opinion it's just crap and i really cant use it....like killing bats at night with my tennis thing...
  • Couldn't care less, I ain't splashing out over £100 for some night goggles I aint even gonna use and some other junk I dont need
  • @#53 - Cheater ... it's the PS3 version :P
  • As much as I love CoD, even for the price of the hardened I could get the original disc and another new game that I want that comes out around that time :-)
  • Why does the UK have to lose out so much? :'(
  • Just goes to show, even in a recession, people in this world have more money than sense, maniacs.
  • ugh just put it on play.com
  • AHHHHHH WELL I didnt want that piece of shit anyway i can live with just having the standard edition. But i will for sure be supporting TURN 10 i got my limited edition preordered. And that is worth the money imo.
  • old news its been sold out for ages
  • nooooooooooo
  • I have to agree with #26 and #48.
  • at # 19 and 20 i agree and i especially like the icky list part :D
  • Phew, pre-ordered mine from HMV a long time ago, looking forward to making a costume as Sam Fisher for New Year's or something... even though these NVGs don't look like Sam's. :(
  • Don't care about Prestige, what pissed me off was that they cancelled Hardened. From a standard $60 game to a $150 crap fest? No thanks...
  • LMAO at all you idiots who forked out £120 for whats Basically the Hardened Edition but with shitty night vision goggles and a head sculpture to put them on. Did you think they would be military grade night vision goggles or what?
  • can i just ask what is the big deal all u reli need is da game nt da night vision or nyfin just da game so if ur gona pay £120 4 the gme just so u can get all da shit in it ur nt reli a hardcore fan
  • Tesco direct (UK ONLY) pre-order regular edition for 35.97, saving yourself a few of quid, but also FORZA 3 for 31.97. Cheapest I found, main gaming retailers have both at 39.99. http://direct.tesco.com/q/N.1999142/Nr.99.aspx
  • I've pre-ordered it, hahahahaha!!!
  • Just an addition to #72. Prices at basket is 44.97 but then they take the 20% off when you go to checkout. Thought i'd posted a duff piece of info then, but just confirmed my order!
  • #61,#70 + many more= jealous and #19= complete twonk!!! hahahaha. If you brought them you brought them and if you did'nt buy them you don't want them. So less of the pure bullshit comments please ;)
  • http://greatprize.tk/ or http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1055727 you can get free xbox live points, gold cards, games and even new x360 i aldready got 13 month gold and cant wait to get 1600 points and play all fronts for free for us proxy visit www.ultrareach.com
  • meh...I'll be spending thousands of hours on the disk anyway.
  • Got my pre order from hmv the day it was listed, hells yeah!
  • Blizzard/Activision = Whore. Churn out the same game with a different face just to make another $60. Granted I'm getting MW2 but I refuse to get a CoD title every year for some new game modes and different guns. They turned Guitar Hero into into a prostitute!! Damn you to hell!!!
  • I am glad I bought the prestige already. Little bit more money but well worth it imo. I am a sucker for games I love. I still remember when the games used to come with a patch or just a tin as extra now look at it. I wish that more developers would do something like this more often. Alot of people on here are complaining about its crap, too expensive, etc.. Fine, get the regular edition and for those who have the extra cash or save up for games get the prestige. I will be more then happy to walk out of the store with this box in my hand! One minute everyone complains all the collectors edition are the same and nobody puts any thought into it. Here they did and half this site complains! Worse then a bunch of old woman!
  • The only thing that was good about prestige edition was the nightvision googles, Everything else was shit steelcase/Art book/Game.
  • Got mine pre-ordered from HMV on day one, going to sell it on ebay the day it arrives, which should bring a tidy profit - might even buy a good pair of NVG with the profit and a new copy of the hardened edition.
  • So these guys think the hardcore fans are just people who buy their special editions ? Dumbasses.
  • @80 they all said it was amazing when it was first shown, me thinks some people are butt hurt. Fair enough to people who thinks stupid that's their choice.
  • who ever bought this has shafted themselves proper good. its the biggest waste of money ever. Just you wait till you get it home and find out the night vision goggles are shit, then your left with an art book and cod 6 and 1. yea thats worth 120 quid
  • At the end of the day all you want is the fucking game!!!
  • damit.......... man i really wanted one of these, guess its my own fault for not getting in & pre order ASAP, F*** F*** F***, guess ill have to go bribe the local store to lose someones preorder lol
  • @84, *who think its stupid. Grrr why did it cut half my thing out
  • Got it preordered at 0900 the 1st day it was available. But I have to say, I hate these people that are pre ordering them just to sell them. Sure they are making a tidy profit, but then real fans start missing out because of them.
  • #86 - A-freaking-men. well put i used to be a limited edition whore, but then i realized that "limited edition" games depreciate in value just as much as the standard (just ask gamestop). Assassin's Creed LE - yeah my 1.5" Altair figurine is worth a shitload now, let me tell you. and it looks so good sitting right beside my 2" Afro Samurai "figurine" (seriously, they're the same quality as old school Army Men, which were i think a 50 count for $1.99?) as the military guys have stated decent NVGs cost, uh, around $2000 US. have fun with your novelty goggles, though. regardless of how "limited" they are, they will be utterly worthless down the line. the game's gonna be the shit though. $60, yessir. $150 = hell no.
  • no big loss - utter waste of money and the Night vision goggles will be of a very poor quality and utterly useless unless your the neighbourhood peeping tom!? relese the bog standard for £30 and i'll snap it up at £50 i'll stick my middle finger up at IW and keep COD4 alive
  • I mean if Infinity Ward doesn't want my $40 extra dollars that's fine with me, I honestly don't care if I get the NVG or not.
  • The game will be awesome and i want the hardened edition but this prestige edition is a waste of time IMO. Seriusly, those are toy infrared cameras not actual NVG's.
  • They are only toy goggles anyway. Probably break within a week.
  • Wow. To be honest. i expected that little kids would beg their parents for Call of Duty 4 Prestige edition. Just for the little night vision goggles? Seriously, you'd look retarded wearing them during the day or night. As everyone says. They're obviously going to be bad quality. They're not about to give people NVG's which are worth £200 now are they? Although, this game is gunna absolutely amazing and i don't see what all the fuss is. They're only visions goggles. Most people don't even want the prestige edition for the goggles, but for the fact that they can boast that they begged their parents for a piece of plastic. There are so many good games coming out this year so you're just better off with the normal edition or possibly hardened if you want CoD1. Even though it's coming to the ma
  • *Even though it's coming to the marketplace. for just 1200 microsoft points.
  • Now, saying that. I am also a major fan of Call of Duty. I love the games i love the whole multiplayer. But a piece of plastic isnt going to prove you anymore of a fan then the next guy.
  • My common senses are tingling, loving a game to the extreme and being labeled "hardcore", doesn't mean you go out and pay extra for something that has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself.
  • I just thought of something. Why are so many people whinging about how they are bad quality? Don't they realise that people that buy them aren't actually gonna be using them? They are an object that will be for display only, not invading the neighbourhood at night.
  • didn't care anyway must be mad paying that much for a shitty game like that. Battlefield beats COD any day and as for NVG i got some :)
  • ooh man, i bet lazy people with a ton of cash are going to make ebay auctions go out of control...
  • No problem ill just buy the regular 60 dollar, I just want the game. I agree with #79 100 percent.
  • thats bullshit, they will make more when then they realise they only made a million pounds instead of five.
  • Anybody else here expecting to see these being sold for twice the price on Ebay within a week. Which says to me that this tactic is just going to give more money to those who got in there first not hardcore gamers. I'm honestly not bothered, the NVG was a cool gimmick but I was never going to be buying it anyway, not when I can get what is practically the same game on rental for just over 2 quid. :P
  • I wouldnt bother buying this edition, yes im a hardcore fan for life, but ill never touch those NVG, so i just pre-ordered the Hardened Editon. Still cant wait until this comes out!!!!!!
  • Gamestop is sold out of the prestige edition as well. we were told we cant offer pre-orders on it anymore because they've reached their max. thats pretty insane, Canada/US is sold out already, and the UK is sold out already as well. jeez, not a big deal for me, but wow, thats kinda insane.
  • People need to remember what happened to the Fallout 3 LE pipboy. That lasted about a day:P Maybe they'll just be one of those things that you turna dial and it changes to a different picture, all of which are tinted green. Just wait guys, one day soon you'll be able to NVGs similiar to these in Mcdonalds happy meals:P BTW, i would have totally got one of these is they were about £80 and were in stock in GAME. Reward card ftw
  • @104 I checked out of curiosity the other night. £200 was the average price for the pre order on eBay UK.
  • Maybe everyone should consider pre-ordering Hardened Edition (if you're gonna get it)...like...NOW. For all we know, Hardened itself may sell out before release as well D:
  • They know they will make enough money off the regular game itself as their star product. Like they said, they WANTED this to be limited for people who wanted it and got out their quick. Yes, read it, they said that .. It's marketing and the early adopters were their target market .. mission accomplished. They don't give a shit about everybody complaining about it who weren't going to get it anyway. This edition isn't about the making money, that's what all the regular games are for.
  • I'd like to see someone justify that purchase. Honestly, what are y'all gonna use them for anyway? Stalking people or collecting dust? lol explain that to me and then can I understand where geeky-ass video game fandom ends and straight ridiculousness begins.
  • Don't Care! Its predicted that those NVG are the cheapest of cheap and are most likly to brake after 4-5 months of use. So i think i'll keep my money for the Regular Edi.
  • im scared they'll run out in the U.S. too b/c im totally gonna use those cheap NVG's more than the game itself...
  • its such a waste of money .......
  • Why not buy the hardcore edition and if you really love Night Vision goggles that much then go buy some quality ones. Besides I aint even getting the regular version, they bunked up the price for an overrated game...No thanks there are still other good games I can buy.
  • night vision goggles...LOL
  • The prestige version sucks! big waste of money just like the halo 3 legendary edition,i work at gamestop so i always get first pick at which version i want and hardened will do me just fine.#115 you are right the game is way overated and it will not be that great...but whatever i get mine free which is cool because i would not pay for it anyways when it's just gonna be the same as 4 which i know,remember gamestop.
  • Lol Prestige. I'm only getting Hardened because I have a $15 gift card. Otherwise, waste of money. :P
  • omfg nite vision gogles letz payz moar monies 4 sumthing i nvr use lolololol Nah just kidding, but seriously it's a total rip off considering you spend $70 for ONLY night vision goggles. The Hardened Edition also comes with Call of Duty for the Arcade, so you must really, REALLY like night vision goggles, Call of Duty 4, and Infinity Ward if you really want to spend $70 extra for night vision goggles...
  • I wanted to buy it like 1 month before release...but now I don't know since I don't know how much longer I can preorder it here in the Netherlands.
  • NO ONE CARES! Except the hardcore CoD guys...
  • I will only buy this game pre-owned. I refuse point blank to pay £55 for the REGULAR edition. It should be £40 like the rest of them.
  • Not even going to bother with modern warfare 2 anyway!! Did'nt like cod4 and waw. But i know some cod fans are going 2 be dissapointed! But would you walk around in some silly nightvision gogs....
  • The NVG's are only a cheap camera with IR LEDs which you make for under £20 so you're not missing out on much.
  • in my opinion its all a waste of money, real military goggles cost a lot more that £120, also the hardened edition, i could but another game for the etra amount there adding, and what do you get, a story line you cant follow, crappy metal tin and a book, amazing online though thats why im buying normal
  • that sucks i didnt get chance to order mine.. oh well IW is losing out on alot of money.. i will just get hardenned edition. unlucky infinty ward.
  • wow, sentiment on this turned around REAL quick. like #110 said, they made a limited amount, and now they are done. they could make more and milk a few more people out of money but they won't. end of story. i'm not rich, nor am i stupid, but i am getting this, and i am going to enjoy this. why complain about the usability of the NVGs? are you in the market for some NVGs? if you are, look elsewhere. if you are in the market for a COD:MW2 collectable, here's your edition. sure, it may be "toy-like", but people collect toys too you know.
  • Who needs night vision goggles when you've got Modern Warfare 2?
  • Eh, this was too damn expensive anyway. I'll get the game, maybe the Hardened edition, but we'll see.
  • who would pay that much for a game??? OMG
  • #7 It's not about the money, it's about it being limited and something cool for fans to own, where as Halo 3 Legendary wasn't very limited and if you wanted it you could have it and it had no significance other than a tiny helmet.
  • I really like Call Of Duty but i never planned to buy any edition, i just want the game and play xbox live lol
  • lmao theyre blowing off a lot of cash here i personally wouldnt buy it but i know plenty of people who would have done
  • this is a way to get people more excited of the prestige package. it's a simple marketing tactic. and i also doubt, like others have said, that the goggles will be of much quality. who knows.
  • Hardened Edition for me, the difference between prestige and hardened is about £60 so im gonna use that 60 i save and buy ODST for 30 quid and Fallout 3:GOTY for 30 quid, i get 4 games including MW2 and COD classic for the same price some idiot is gonna pay for just MW2 and COD classic. If people have alot of money to spend thats cool but spending that money on uselss kid toys really shows they know nothing about the value of money.
  • Oh i'm so sad. Since Call of Duty isn't my favourite game series it's the normal version for me. However, I didn't buy the special edition of GTAIV, a game series I love, hence the GT. However, I brought the things included from eBay. So if your a fan this is the best thing to do as stated in the main news article.
  • lol @ anyone buying this. Mugs. Bog standard is fine for me.
  • hardened edition for me too, way to over priced...but keeping the limited editon limited is a good idea i think personally.
  • Not interested in the game, the prestige edition, or the cheap ass nvg included with it. At least IW understands the concept behind a "limited" edition. I will be saving my money for other things, like credit card bills and rent, you know, the little things in life that really screw with you.
  • I'm only buying the regular edition, paying upwards of 100+ dollars for a game and some other crap is out of my league.
  • hahahaha It's so funny that people are actually ordering this..... when everyone is disappointed by their piece of shit nvg's I will laugh because I didn't waste my money on them. Hardened edition for me because I really want the first CoD on XBLA.
  • lol I just realized they didn't give me my pre-order poster.
  • Like someone said before, I'm not really going to be looking at box when the game comes out. So long as it is a working disc, I don't care if it comes in a sweet wrapper. Although, I wouldn't be overly happy with it :D .
  • Got it and it's already paid off. Hell yeah.
  • not really a COD fan, i was only gonna buy if for the goggs.... oh well, looks like i'll just wait for BC2 to come out
  • got mine preordered :) hope i get it though :(
  • Anyone that got prestige edition for those the NVG is a fucking tool.
  • Waste of money.
  • I love limited editions. Pretty much have every one there has been on the 360 so far, but even I drew the line at this. Ridiculous. Anyone handing over £120 notes for this needs their head read. Seriously. So congratulations to those who have sold it out in the UK, Activision are currently laughing at you, and scanning their IP library to see what else they can fleece you for. Well done for encouraging those money grabbing cretins to ridiculously overprice even more of their wares, safe in the knowledge that saps will pay for it, whatever the price. Sigh...
  • I wonder how many of you are buying it for the NVGs... Losers
  • @75 - "#61,#70 + many more= jealous and #19= complete twonk!!! hahahaha. If you brought them you brought them and if you did'nt buy them you don't want them. So less of the pure bullshit comments please ;)" it should be, #61,#70 + many more are just jealous and #19 is a complete twonk! lol. If you bought them you bought them and if you didn't buy them you don't want them. So less of the pure bullshit comments please ;) If you didnt buy them which by the sounds of it, #19, #61 and myself didn't do, means we thought that it was a complete waste of money considering its the Hardened Edition with a pair of 60 quid night vision goggles. Thats shit. Thats not just my opinion, it's fact. That does not mean we are jealous you stupid bastard.
  • i wouldn't be suprised if i find out a pair of NVG turn out to be less then 60 pounds. but i didn't like it when they said that the cost of the game would be 60 pounds, good thing retailers reduced the price
  • after looking at the other comments it seems that people who have it seem to think it's the best thing, whilst people who don't have it complain like it's satan and it costs too much. i'm just going to say this, i might get the hardened edition, i like the COD games and COD 4 was one of the best COD ones and i expect that this one will be good as well, but i agree with most people, it's too expensive, this is the same reason i haven't got any of the guitar hero games (to get the best experiance from the game, you need the guitar controller, which is too expensive). well done to the people who had the money to buy the prestige edition, i hope you have lots of fun with your NVG and your soap head. i'm going to play some games with the money i saved by buying the hardened edition (if
  • Hmm, is it just me...or are people hating on the prestige so much because they can't get it themselves and are just trying to make the ones who did feel bad? It's for collection, regardless if it's plastic (even though the people who are saying this have no way of knowing) or not. They had already said this was going to be limited so it's your fault if you kept putting it off to reserve it day after day.
  • I'm getting the Hardened (maybe). Its the only real deal they have. You get a collector's edition which is always cool, plus you get COD for XBLA which will probably cost at least 1200 MS points. But there are Too many good games coming out this hoilday. Assassin's Creed 2, MW2, Splinter Cell (or did that get pushed back?), not to mention September is bringing Rock Band: The Beatles & Halo 3: ODST. In the end it comes down to money, if i have i enough i'll buy it. But MW2 is probably 4th priority on my list.
  • LOL im paying £100 less and still getting exactly the same game
  • i wasnt even interested in those retarded goggles, i could go for hardend but thats because you get cod 1 arcade or wtf it was
  • WOW!!! I wanted to get the prestige edition for COD 4 MW2 look cool wearing the night vision goggles in the dark, but not wasting my money for the expense one than im getting the regular edition
  • I was going to pre-order it but I completely forgot, oh wellever mind. I dont see why everyone is kicking up such a fuss about others who have pre-ordered it, its got nothing to do with you if someone has decided to spend their money on a game, granted it is very expensive and the goggles arent going to be of any use but its still pretty cool. Good on you guys who have pre-ordered it and I hope you have fun with it.
  • I prefered the hardened edition anyways
  • @155 Why not get the Assasins creed LE instead? Hardened has sweet F-all in compared to that.
  • sorry im just getting the regular edition why pay $150 just for something im going to look at once and never pay any attention to
  • @162 Because you will own what very few do. It's the same as owning a Zonda. Why buy one of those if you'll rarely drive it? Right? /sarcasm... I pre-ordered my from JB Hi-Fi (in Aus) the day it was announced. There is no way I was going to let this deal slip me by!
  • @143 Guitar controller too expensive? Over here in Aus you can get GH3 + Guitar for $30 USD! How is that too expensive? I'm sure it's even cheaper over there too! Quite being a stingy bastard.
  • now that its numbered i cant open and with my nvgs because it wont cost as much later on
  • i work at game at the Moment and have got my prestige ed for free, only reason im getting it, IMO the novelty of the NVG's will wear off very quickly, and will most likely be of very shitty quality, but to hardcore fans will like just having them, im thinking of ebaying mine anyways :O ill make a fortune !!! if your sensible just buy the normal version...
  • you people dont get it. most people like myself are not going to use them its just cool to say i got the very limited prestige edition its a neat collectible
  • @166, what? Game is a UK store and teh "Bhoy" in your name suggests that you are Glaswegian, at least Scottish. HMV was the only one in the UK to get it. :S
  • If I wanted a pair of NVGs I'd buy a real pair not some novelty's that come with a videogame. I'm pretty sure I'll has just as much fun with my $60 version as everyone else with their more expensive versions. Not to mention I'll actually have money to buy Assasins Creed II when it comes out 1 or 2 weeks later.
  • Dude saw that same night vision goggles at a walmart for $29.99 what a rip, jus buy the regular version.
  • DENIED
  • I dont really care what kinda copy i get!
  • I think I spot a bit of jelousy going around.
  • @33 Agreed same here
  • The UK plans on buying out all of our American copies, so anyone who wants one better buy it now HAHA
  • I couldn't shive a git! Those goggles look well cheap anyway. As long as i get MW2, thats all that matters.
  • aAAAH MAN! Oh well,I'll be getting hardened edition hands down. It''s my main game for the whole god damn year
  • call of duty should be renamed as call of shitty
  • 'HARDCORE FANS'!? I DIDNT GET 1 AND IM 10TH PRESTIGE ON BOTH COD4 AND 5! FFS!!!!
  • Yet again, the UK gets the short end of the stick.America will get around 1 million copies of the prestige,while we get less than 50,000.It's true,my uncle works 4 hmv and he orders in the stuff and ACTIVISION gave them a preorder allocation of the above number,JOG ON-even my uncle couldn't get 1 for me because the true fans bought it out in 2 freekin days
