nice to see a price on this item but being exclusive to HMV is crap

thanks activision, nice that you give everyone a chance to sell this item,

and on hmv website it also states: Please note this set is only available online from HMV .com and will not be available to buy in any HMV stores. Personally I think this is shocking.

another 2 fingers to indies, and other retailers alike :d nice one Activision

I wouldn't worry about it...I mean come on who has £120 to spend on a game...you could nearly buy an Xbox 360 with that money!

Personally I'm not concerned...although I am surprised GAME missed out on this.

whats wrong with hmv can some please explain

i can't stop looking at the girl on the Playboy Manager ad

can think of one or two more uses for those night vision goggles

goodevening

arfles - playboy girl comment +1 :)
Ahem, anyway, CoD really isn't *that* good is it?! Everyone's making out it's the second coming or something.

This is great news

I keep getting told by Activision that we as an Indie should support them by not going Grey and getting our games from Centresoft.

Thanks for the support Activision nice to see that yet again you have proved that its all B*****s. The UK games industry is now not an open market it is riddled with exclusives with Indies being told to have whats left.

Activision is forcing Indies into Grey and buying off our competitors only to sell on EBAY at over inflated prices

THANKS ACTIVISION SHAFTED AGAIN

...with the whinging.

So your telling me as an Indie you'd have stocked the prestige edition hmm?
No you'd have whined about how little margins you were making on it and the fact that peple can't afford £120 and then refused to stock it.

The worst thing about these exclusives is all my regulars who can't wait for this game to come out will be asking me for the Prestige Edition and I am going to have to say "Sorry you will have to go to HMV"

For an Indie Owner the thought of telling Regulars you have to go to our competitor to get something I should be selling is GUT WRENCHING

Stewart I take it you have your own business where you are a specialist but can't get the products that your customer base want.

HENRY FORD av a word

i already have 60 pre orders for mw2 across both formats, since the web showed the version with nv goggles ive had so many phone calls asking if pre orders can upgrade to this edition, now i have to tell my customers that i can not supply them with this special edition and i am a games specialist shop, we would have stocked this edition no problem at all, now i will be importing this title from the US, at least the ps3 version, until i find out if the 360 is multi region. or i may have to get some from hmv just to keep my regulars, as they will want to take their pre orders to hmv other wise, another example of being shafted in this industry, publishers want you to work with them, but they are not working with us

OK, so you don't like exclusives going elsewhere, fair enough

question is, if a publisher were to ask you, genuinely, "what indies exclusives would you like?", what would you ask for?

you can almost see her fanny, BTW

fnnarrrr

As another Indie store owner i find it pretty sad that some individuals make us all look like idiots.

if you dont like the games industry then get out you are obviously not selling much as you have far to much time on your hands having a good old moan on the MCV forums.

let HMV have there crazy priced spy on ladies in the dark version i could really not care as they will cost a fortune and most customers just want them to sell on ebay.

Are you sure this isn't available for indies?

This appears to be an online-only deal. It might be available for those in-store...

@15 Totally agree with you there, I also own an indie store so I know about like small profit margins etc. but the ones who moan on here do make us have a bad image.

Just accept the fact this is HMV only and spend more time selling than moaning =)

How much does a standalone pair of nightvision goggles cost? Am I making any saving by buying these bundled with the game?

@ Ohiyeah... Yeah, she's pretty hot.

What I wanna know is, she's wearing peach coloured French Knickers (there's nothing underneath that) yet between her legs there is a white spot which in theory should be the white background showing through the gap in her legs, yet there is a dark sofa behind her...

What is this mysterious white spot? Discuss...

I should think the price depends on how good they are...but this isn't really a question for the Market for computer and videogames website. I doubt the nightvision goggles with MW2 will be fantastic...

... MNVGuk dot com - The Market for Night Vision Goggles

I cannot believe the lack of respect shown to the Independents regarding Call Of Duty. The game has a price point of 55 pounds how many Indies will find it cheaper to ignore Centresoft and purchase from Asda and Tesco on day of release. I also have to ask what would stop them? I hope Centresoft put the pressure on their parent company in response to this. This is the last chance to show a level of decency deserved by all who buy their stock from Centresoft and avoid grey importing. I still think Bobby Kotick is changing that company for the worst.

@22 Let's just face it...Centresoft aren't going to do anything about it, there's nothing we can do about it so we just have to get over it...if it's cheaper elsewhere...then buy it elsewhere

Just out of curiousity, but who is that girl in the Playboy Manager ad?

She's gorgeous

A retail company who are well known for selling CDs, DVDs and Games at stupidly expensive prices getting yet another "exclusive" edition of a popular game in their greedy hands.
Their greedy, sweaty hands.
Their greedy, clammy, sweaty hands.

@ 12 Indie RIP

No I don't have my own specialist business, but I instead work for the masters not the dog!

Touche Stewart I agree we do have to feed off the scraps of the industry like dogs sitting beneath its masters chair at the dinner table.

But we are still the first Distie's ring to offload their crappy games because the High Street won't take them.

So when a quality product arrives its a kick in the teeth that we loyal dogs don't get a sniff

Woof Woof !!!!!!!

Stewart "work for the masters" hahaha

im just glad we can get this in the uk

You guys do realise that Centresoft is a subsidiary of Activision?

"Centresoft" aren't going to do anything about it, because it's ultimately their parent company that's chosen this route.

both my local GAME stores are adamant that their HO is saying the prestige edition is NOT exclusive to HMV and they are taking orders for it??

it would be nice t know u could buy them befor the anaroks snap them all up r u listening infinity ward!!!!

seriously? you guys are willing to spend £120 on a game because it has night vision goggles and a bust of someones head? yeh sure its great to look at, but you'll end up never using the goggles and it will just collect dust, personally im getting the much cheaper special edition, thats all i need

i can seem to find any were where i can pre oreder this cany one know where i can?

im happy that this is out and all. but they better make enoguh of them otherwise im gonna be pissed

were is the cheapest place to buy the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition XBOX 360? it looks so awsome
