Now take a look at this for what could be the collectors edition of the year! Going by the name of the “Prestige” edition it contains the usual items you’ve come to expect from Inifinity ward; Steel case, Art book, Downloadable content etc. However as you can see from the picture it also contains a full sized, working set of night vision goggles! This must surely be the coolest collectors item of the year. (You couldn’t even wear the Master Chief’s helmet that came with Halo 3 SE)

Below is a You Tube video featuring Robert Bowling, Infinity Wards Community Manager unboxing the special edition.

Currently slated for release around 10th November, so far the Prestige Edition has only been announced for Xbox 360.
