Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling revealed the contents of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "Hardened" and "Prestige" editions of the game last night. The top tier version comes with working night vision goggles and, as expected, a first class price.

To get the super ultra deluxe limited version, which includes an art book, limited Steelbook case and a token to download the original Call of Duty, plus the aforementioned goggles, expect to pay $149 USD. That's the suggested retail price of the "Prestige" edition, almost twice that of the $79 "Hardened" edition.

Infinity Ward also confirmed via its Twitter account that the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network versions of the original Call of Duty will have multiplayer support.

With Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero, Tony Hawk's Ride and now Modern Warfare 2 all sporting $100-plus pricing options, we're guessing that Activision will have some serious, if heavily padded, fourth quarter revenue to boast about come 2010. How well all these giant boxes will sit with retail, however, is another matter.

Yes, that is correct. For $150 you can get yourself the collectors ed of the game plus a pair of nightvision goggles.

I'm torn. I have no desire for the game...

But damn do I want me some NVGs...

Probably like all the other products they include, they'll suck, hard. I'm glad I didn't get the Pip-boy clock as those were pretty much $5 pieces of junk. Considering how much real NVGs go, I'm not having good expectations for these cheapies either.

There are different levels of night vision goggles. The shit the military uses is expensive, no question. That's the high quality stuff, and can go for 2-3 grand easy. Then there are the el cheapo kids versions, the kind that need an infrared light in order to really see.

....I'm tempted to preorder it, just for the cheapo NVG.

And I don't even play the CoD games.....

hmmmm
