Best Game Box Set Ever?

Unfortunately the nightvision is nothing more than a slightly changed rebranded toy.

Works using a video camera internals and some IR leds. You get a tiny screen (like looking in a camcorder eye piece) to view.

Though that is the best they can do without making it cost about £300 to have semi-decent nightvision goggles..

They will be a gimmick at that price, you need to spend some decent cash for proper Night Vision

OK, I love silly boxsets. I have the Halo 3 Legendary edition and the Bioshock Big Daddy toy and the Fallout 3 lunchbox, but even I think this is retarded.
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo… Again.

I remember GoW2 with the golden lancer. The most entertainment online in that game wasnt horde, or any other game mode. It was when someone on voice comms would say something along the lines of "look at me, golden lancer!" and promptly EVERYONE would then rape the f**k out of them, regardless of teams. Well, I say that, the other team wouldnt be able to hear him say that, but I think the gold lancers were just bullet magnets.

It was weird come to think of it, everyone would always target them first, and then steal the lancer as another form of teabagging I guess...but then it instantly made you a much choicier target too!

Not that Ill play Modern Warfare, but I wonder how many people will proclaim theyre playing it whilst wearing night vision goggles ><

Prestige Edition is an HMV exclusive and is up for pre-orders at £120.

I was gonna go for the hardened edition until I saw the price. It is up for pre-order at £70. Thats an extra £25 over the standard edition. £25 for a steelbook case, art book and download of the original call of duty. Most games that come with a steelbook case and art book sell for around £40-50 and theres no way the original game is worth the extra £20.

Thisll be the first game in a while where Ill be buying the standard edition.

Shows Activision really have taken EAs place as the sh*ttiest game company. They are churning out multiple Guitar Hero games in a year (with very little gameplay differences, if any), trying to stop smaller companies getting theyre games released (Double Fines Brutal Legend), and now overcharging for games.

Activision are trying to make a quick buck, but you cant blame them. The problem is with the muppets who buy this sh*te, if they stopped buying then Activision would stop selling.

OTOH some of them will be bought and never actually played, or even opened, to keep them in pristine condition :(
