The night vision goggles that came with the Modern Warfare 2 prestige edition have to rank up there as one of my most admired gaming preorder bonuses ever. I mean up there with the masterchief replica helmet that came with Halo 3 there aren’t many preorder collectables and bonuses that top this.
Unfortunately I never really got my hands on one when they first came out (RRP was £150) but now that things have calmed down I’ve decided to pick up one of these from eBay and I don’t think it will cost me any where near the original £150 people coughed up.
In fact I’m not even after the whole set just a boxed and sealed set of goggles which I believe you can probably snap up for just under £80.
I’ll let you all know how much I finally get one for! Oh and by the way the last set of night vision goggles I paid for were ex military from Vietnam, I paid £350 for them back in 2006 and they didn’t work. Thankfully the ebayer that sold them to me, took them back for a full refund. Let’s hope these ones actually work!

As an update managed to pick up a fully sealed and boxed Prestige edition box for the PS3 for just £79 including shipping.
Total bargain considering these things came out at £150 and are still selling for numbers as high as £120-£140.
Funnily enough the auction after mine went for £120. So was lucky!
