Modern Warfare 2 to get coolest special edition EVAR

Nightvision goggles to be included in Modern Warfare 2 'Prestige Edition'! But will Australia get to play?

News has come down the pipe overnight of the three editions of Modern Warfare 2 that will be available come November this year. There's the standard edition, the Hardened Edition, and - most impressively of all - the Prestige Edition, which comes with a pair of fully working NIGHTVISION GOGGLES.

The Prestige Edition comes with the goggles ("Ze goggles, zey apparently do zomething!") and everything that comes in the Hardened Edition - an art book, a metal game case, and a code to download the original Call of Duty (coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network). 

Infinity Ward's Community Manager - Robert Bowling - has let slip via his Twitter that the Hardened Edition will set gamers back about $US80, so that gives you a rough ballpark to expect the Prestige Edition to go for. A lot more, in other words, and that's not even counting the premium Australian gamers pay for games. 

We've fired off an anxious email to the peeps at Activision Australia to confirm availability of all the editions locally,and we'll update this story as soon as we hear word.

'Cause we want those goggles!
