Modern Warfare 2 Special Editions - No Call of Duty in Sight
You do get night vision goggles though
Prestige Edition
Infinity Ward has released video of the unboxing of Modern Warfare 2's really special editions. There are two of them: 'Hardened Edition' and 'Prestige Edition'. Aside from the Xbox 360 game box, neither of them has the words 'Call of Duty' anywhere on any of the contents. not the limited edition artwork book, not even on the night vision goggles that come with the Prestige edition.
An Activision rep was quoted recently by Kotaku as stating, "Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning Modern Warfare 2 resides in the Call of Duty universe. This is reflected in the title's package."
Oh, yes, we did say "Night vision goggles" in the Prestige edition? Both editions are, according to the video you can see below, also available for pre-order, details of where they are available for pre-order were not mentioned. The only price mentioned so far is for the Hardened edition as per a Tweet:
"The token to download the original Call of Duty on XBLA or PSN will be in the Hardened & Prestige Editions. Hardened is $80".
However, we'd imagine that without 'Call of Duty' written on them, the boxes shown below will be ultra-limited edition.
