The standard version will be priced at £55 (USD$90), making it one of, if not the most expensive regular editions of a game on record. But that's just for the standard version.

The fancy "Prestige Edition" - which includes a working set of night vision goggles - is priced at £120. That's just over $195.

Less comforting for the French might be the price for this. The standard, goggles-free version of the game runs $60 here in the U.S. but 69.95 Euros in France. (That's almost $99.) No word yet on what the Prestige version will cost. In the U.S. that price will be $149.

Whoa.

Um, you know, I don't blame any Europeans for pirating this game. What amounts to $90 for a standard edition of a game? Fuuuuuuuuck that. For that kind of money I want an action figure and a blowjob with the game.

Ouch. I could maybe see some of these increased prices for huge, open-world type games that offer 50-100 hours of gameplay, but for MW2? Christ, the single player portion of the first game took less than 10 hours. Insane, I'd never pay that, I'll just wait 3 months and pick it up on Ebay.

Which is why I import all my games from UK.

Almost a hundred bucks for some shitty Wal-Mart night vision goggles. All I can ask is why, when it would probably be easier to assemble a disk or book of concept art and the game's development- I'd much rather see that than a $90 gimmick.

I own Raising the Bar, Resident Evil Archives, and The Art of Halo, and all of them are much more interesting than this Collector's Edition crap. What did they sell with Halo 3? A helmet? Such bullshit.

Keep the helmet. Give me a manual that's worth a damn. Don't charge me another $5 for it.

Fallout 3 CE had an artbook, a Vault-Boy bobblehead (which sits on top of my cablebox) and a LUNCHBOX which I thought was pretty cool.

Bioshock's CE stuff was less-than-stellar. I still haven't bothered trying to repaint the Big Daddy.

You paid $50-60 for Bioshock? You poor bastard, you have my sympathies.

Once more, into the breach!

*yawn* Care level, zero.

You know, I still can't find the incentive to really care all *that* much about this game. I quite liked the first MW, but nothing more than that. Maybe it's because I never played online?

Also, call me old-fashioned but FPS on a console... bleh. Screw the limited editions, mouse and keyboard (and naturally lower price) FTW.
