Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition sold out for the Xbox 360?

HMV have pulled MW2 Prestige Edition from their site on the Xbox 360. The site now simply states that it is "Unavailable". PS3 fans however can still get it there as it's still for sale. Some time ago, it was reported that it was unavailable but it seems this was just to update the price as originally it was £149.99 on the site and it was readded as £119.99, the difference this time being that only the Xbox 360 version has been pulled rather than both.

[Omega4]

MW2 is going to be MASSIVE for the 360, it could easily act as a system seller as well without even needing to be exclusive

[PirateThom]

Delusion isn't pretty.

[N4PS3G]

He's delusional why?

Because MW2 could be a system seller on 360?

-The game gets timed exclusive content on 360
-Xbox live is big deal for people who play big online multiplayers like MW2.
-Modern Warfare 1 sales one the 360 were higher and Infinity Ward said the online use on xbox live was a lot higher as well.
-Microsoft will probably advertise it like a big exclusive just like their past multiplatform games.Unlike sony
-You can get the game and a xbox 360 for $260 compared to the PS3 for $460.

Just look at last month NPD. Xbox 360 sales increased with crappy multiplatform game like Prototype charting #1 compared to the PS3 version. You need to understand that a well promoted multiplatform game could help a specific console more than the other ;)

COD4 has 11m Live, 4m PSN players

[randomwiz]

That's assuming the consumer has friends with 360's, or just wants to buy a cheap console just to play this game.

It could easily act as a system seller for the ps3 also. If you have 10 friends that have ps3's, are you going to buy 360 or a ps3?

I'm a COD fanatic, but I don't get why people would buy the prestige version, way too expensive imo...maybe the night vision goggles are what are selling the prestige version?

[Menchi]

I don't see it.

The vast majority of people interested in MW2 are people who already own a HD system. They are also people who already bought MW1 and WaW.

I simply don't see this bringing an influx of new fans, so no real "System Seller" vibe for either platform.

Especially considering the price hike, and the fact the game really isn't any different has put off potential buyers [Myself included]

[Jaces]

Well we know now which gamers prefer to save their money rather than lick Activisions cornhole.

lol, i kid! i kid!

[StanLee]

Who's really surprised by this?

[cRaZyLeGs 93]

Why don't they just buy the ps3 one and sell the game separately?

[LordMarius]

Yep, I aint surprise
the 360 is mostly known as only having shooters, so its no surprise THIS shooter would sell out

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I'm looking forward to this game and will enjoy it on the 360. You haters, can get it on the PS3!

Sold out of the Prestige Edition like 3 months in advance? Seems like they either had a very small allocation or those brits do have a lot of cash!!!

[OmarJA]

Sounds to me that you are trying to spin the fact that the 360 doesn't have any decent exclusive this year.

[Mindboggle]

I find it quite pathetic how 360 owners wont pay £280 for a PS3 but theyll pay £160 for a pair of night vision goggles.

[bnaked]

nah, i think the people are way too hyped.. they must be crazy..

They buy it because of this f*cking Night Vision Device.. Its a totally cheap one, not worth the money! Damn. If you want such a thing, you should buy a mediocre one for 600$..

[leila01]

Not as pathetic as PS3 owners that can afford a $400 console, but can't afford $30 a year for XBLIVE.

[Boody-Bandit]

I bet a lot of those people are resellers / scalpers.
eBay and other online auctions are a big draw for people to preorder limited edition items. That is where the real insanity comes from. Depending on the demand most limited items get no less than double the money for people that purchase them just to turn a quick profit.

When Street Fighter IV TE sticks launched they were topping the $400 mark online for a long time. I saw one go off for $543! <- $149 dollar stick. Check online auctions around the time this MW2 is released and see if they aren't over flooded with prestige editions for sale.

No limited or special editions for me. I just pick up the standard version of the game and I never preorder. Too many retail stores around my home to be bothered with preordering. I will walk into BB release day and pick up a couple copies.

[BrokenAnarchy]

PS3 owners can afford $30 for XBL, they just don't want to.

If you could play online for free, why would you want to pay $30 for the same experience?

[Gamertags]

not just on the 360 but the PS3 as well.

You have to keep in mind, that more 360 have been sold and are being sold at any given moment. When you factor in the LIVE and the cost of the system, you are getting a win win.

When you figure that you can buy a 360 for $150, MW for $60 and finally, either pay for live or go for a free trial...That is something Sony can not even come close too.

Speaking of Networks, if anyone has played COD4 for the PS3 and for the 360 they would know that the 360 version was WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better.

It only makes sense people

[cmrbe]

To see some x360 fans treat a multi-plat as an exclusive.

[Gamertags]

In a way, the 360 multiplatforms are exclusives. Not only because MS usually secures DLC but because the 360 version is so much better you can say, that it was only released on the 360!

[SUP3R]

It definitely isn't the same experience.
The only core similarity between the two is online multiplayer.
As far as interactivity goes they are completely different.

[SaberEdge]

Xbox Live is a lot better than PSN. Anybody that has extensively used both services knows this to be true. However, PSN is enough for some people and at least it is free.

[Gamertags]

Is right, anyone that has used Live knows how much better it is than PSN. Those who are happy with free and lacking features, polish, content and so will be happy with PSN.

That is how people are. Some want only the best (LIVE) and others are happy with 'scrapping by(PSN).'

[Jaces]

Yes, because there are so many better things on Live that I can't do on PSN.

/Sarcasm

What do you guys pay for exactly? I forgot, was it the fact that you can twitter on your 360? ZOMG! That's so cool.

PSN has the same features and yet we pay nothing. Tell me you pay for something worth your money, please, it's killing me.

Let me guess, it must be the cross chat...right? Or the netflix access...which we can use freely on the PS3 web browser anyway.

You guys bring a smile to my face each time I read your comments, your a real comedian man.

Hate on! ;D

[Gamertags]

Buddy you can act like Live isn't as good as it really is. If that makes you feel better brother. I own both systems and you know what, I can speak from experience unlike you, who is defending their purchase,

Nuff Said!

[BrokenAnarchy]

I have both too plus I have been using XBL longer than PSN, and I feel they are the exact same with very few differences.

The only thing that I would want for the PS3 is cross-party chat, but even so it is not a must needed feature. Another thing to remember is that XBL has been since the Xbox, while PSN started with the PS3, in that short time they are very close to XBL.

It seems that you are the one that is trying to justify your purchase.

[Jaces]

You didn't answer my questions.

[AAACE5]

I know people who went out and bought 360's and Ps3's just to get CoD: World at War! So to think that CoD: MW 2 won't move a few units is pretty delusional.

You may not respect the game enough, but there will be some who see it as justification to move into the next gen.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

OmarJA, 360 owners have Halo 3:ODST, Left 4 Dead 2, Forza 3, Shadow Complex and Alan Wake coming, I'm sure they will have a lot to play, and despite what a lot of PS3 owners claim, I reckon a good number of them will be sat playing this game for days when it hits.

[Hobadoon]

offer completely different experiences. If you don't own and play on both then it's pointless to even waste your time explaining it to folks. Those who say otherwise, I don't see as having a good "friends" experience on LIVE. I have a pretty large group of friends on both PSN and LIVE and GOD is it just so much more of a breeze communicating/room finding/game switching/messaging/partying up/ect on LIVE. Yeah PSN is nice for what it is but the interactivity that LIVE offers between users is much more streamlined.

Jaces, stop whining because a sh!t ton of people are still willing to pay for a paid service before a free service. You all sound like jealous little kids "Wah, stop spending your money on the people I don't like wahhh".

Man...

[Horny]

Since you guys are fighting about which is better Ill put a word in.
I use both and yes Live is slightly better. It is not worth the extra 50$ a year though. Live makes it easier to communicate and play with friends. It is easier to start parties and invite ppl to your game.
PS3 on the other hand has a web browser which makes up for it if you dont have a pc or if you want to watch porn on a big screen without having to hook your computer up.
They are both good services and in the end all that matters is that you can play online.

Now to call of duty. Ill get this on the 360 because I simply dont want to pay a dime for it, thats the only reason.
I used to play COD4 on the PS3 and now started playing on the 360.
While the 360s Live features help it out when you want to invite friends and all that I thought the PS3 version played better. I have both systems hooked up with an HDMI cable and the PS3 version actually looked slightly better on my tv (Sony Bravia). The biggest difference is the controllers. I like playing with the Sensitivity very high and PS3 controller seems more precise and has less of a dead zone. Ive also experienced more lag on the 360.

[All-3]

Actually... in order to get a similar experience... PS3 owners would also have to subscribe to Qore at $25 bucks per year.

So Xbox 360 owners are only paying $5.00 per year to play online games + $25.00 bucks for a similar Qore-like feature on Xbox Live for their gold membership - which totals $30.00 dollars. The $30 dollar price has been offered at times on many big sites such as amazon.com

[Horny]

^ I was gonna say were do ppl keep getting 30$ from.
Pretty much everywhere you go its 50$, just cuz they have sales once in a while u cant just say its 30$.

[Hobadoon]

LIVE is great for friends/games and PS3 is great for... porn?

Not the strongest selling point, man. Not to mention, you didn't even compare LIVE to PSN. You compared it to a web browser.

LIVE is worth it to the people that buy it and enjoy it. Most who think it's not worth it, usually stop playing on it. Otherwise, I don't see the intelligence in continually purchasing something you don't think is worth the money. I think it's worth it. I pay for LIVE. Millions of others do as well. Please cry about it some more like it's hurting you all. (Not directed at you Deee187)

[Horny]

^porn thing was just a joke lol, I was just saying its a nice feature to have a browser.

I think MS should have online play for basic silver membership, and all that extra can be the gold membership for ppl who want those features. I do online gaming on both systems, and personally dont use all those extra features thats why Im feeling like im gettin ripped off for having to pay 50 just play online.

[xTruthx]

Well 360 only owners havent had any real good games for a while, Have you seen the NPD data of 360 games ? they still buying cod4 and codww2. Cus halowars was fun for a bit but i traded in that game and i though prototype was going to be rlly fun and it was fun for like 30 mins, after that all the same things over and over, traded that 1 in too.

[Jaces]

Who's whining again?

I just wanted an answer as to what is worth paying $50 a year for LIVE.

It's true I do not have experience to tell the difference, that's why I asked. Think a little before you say anything, nobody likes a village idiot.

[Hobadoon]

can give people more stuck-up/snobby tones to their posts for some reason. Jaces, don't type sh!t back to me as if you weren't trying to stir 360 users up from the get go.

Jaces writes (and notice his punk-ass tone): "PSN has the same features and yet we pay nothing. Tell me you pay for something worth your money, please, it's killing me.

Let me guess, it must be the cross chat...right? Or the netflix access...which we can use freely on the PS3 web browser anyway.

You guys bring a smile to my face each time I read your comments, your a real comedian man.

Hate on! ;D"

Really man? And then when people respond you say "Woah, I didn't wanna start anything, I honestly was just asking a question because I haven't had the experience yet and I truthfully just wanted to knowblah blahh wackness". Quit the innocent BS, dude. Callin me a village idiot when you're walkin around two-faced soundin like a damn politician. If you really just wanted to know you could have.

1.) Googled it
2.) Asked respectfully

Don't get pissy at people that respond in the same manner that you respond to them.

@Deee - I can understand that. I think people should be able to play online with silver accounts. They should model silvers features to be very similar to PSN. And then Gold members should be able to pay extra for the facebook, twitter, cross game chat and any other features.

I use features left and right so that's why I don't see any problem paying the fee. Honestly, I'm an avid SOCOM player and having cross game chat would make that game SO much easier to navigate with your clan (of course that patch they've been talkin about for the past forever would be useful too ha).

Not gonna lie, cross game chat justifies my LIVE purchase (again for ME!) My clan's on LIVE use it constantly. Now if PSN gives us cross chat, then I might start feeling ripped off. But LIVE's overall online integration would still get my by the nuts ha.

[Jaces]

"Not gonna lie, cross game chat justifies my LIVE purchase (again for ME!)"

I didn't have time to read your essay, so I skipped to the part where you justify your purchase of Live. So that's it? Cross game chat?

What did catch my eye though was how you accuse me of talking crap. People that constantly bash a systems online capabilities are annoying (aren't they?), so I thought it would be fun to give tags a taste of his own medicine.

Then the Protector of all that's Right in the World comes along and starts bashing, which I think is hilarious, so I tone it down for you and you still haven't finished your rant.

Like seriously guy? Cool off.

And you both have yet to answer my question, don't give me that "ask respectfully" bullsh!t either.

Hell, why don't you tell me "respectfully" what it is that lures you to pay $50 a year on Live?

But if you want to be a douche then go right ahead, I don't mind. I'm used to them.

[Hobadoon]

Why... Can't... You... Read? I honestly think you haven't even read any of my posts. You're just so anxious to hit that reply button to spout off more jackassness.

I'll do you a favor and copy and paste my MULTIPLE answers to your question. Take your time and sound it out. Ready? :D Here goes! ;D

Answer #1: "I have a pretty large group of friends on both PSN and LIVE and GOD is it just so much more of a breeze communicating/room finding/game switching/messaging/partying up/ect on LIVE. Yeah PSN is nice for what it is but the interactivity that LIVE offers between users is much more streamlined."

Answer #2: "Not gonna lie, cross game chat justifies my LIVE purchase (again for ME!) My clan's on LIVE use it constantly. Now if PSN gives us cross chat, then I might start feeling ripped off. But LIVE's overall online integration would still get my by the nuts ha."

Answer #3: "I use features left and right so that's why I don't see any problem paying the fee. Honestly, I'm an avid SOCOM player and having cross game chat would make that game SO much easier to navigate with your clan (of course that patch they've been talkin about for the past forever would be useful too ha)."

And look at that. EVERY ONE of those answers was respectful. Now that I've wasted my time pointing it out to you as if you have reading problems, I'll be on my way. I feel like I'm in the damn twilight zone on this site sometimes.

*Double checks all posts one last time*

lol what was so hard to understand?? Mind boggling...

[Jaces]

Now that's an answer!

That wasn't so hard was it now?

Good day to you. :)

[Stryfeno2]

I tried to pre-odered this for 360 a week ago and had no luck.

[pure pwnage24]

only an idiot xbot like you actually would pay 150$ for a shiny cover and clanky cheap night vision goggles when you could actually buy 2 full games with it, though there aren't any in the so called "humongous" 360 library that are worth time and money

oh well you resort to dumping huge amounts of money into the few things you need or want, your 360, wireless adapter, hd dvd add-ons, batteries for a so called "next-gen" controller, a router if no wireless connection exists

now Modern Warfare 2 because its your last hope in 2009... tear, tear :P

[KingKionic]

hmm...

[cranium]

hmm indeed

[bnaked]

hmm strange..

[KingKionic]

yes...hmmm

[memots]

Very Strange indeed

[Blasphemy]

I pre ordered the PS3 version last week at Gamestop and the guy told me that in a few days that they would stop taking pre orders completely.

[KoB4EMvPi]

Game is going to be crazy on the 360...
How many copies sold in 1st week of release.?

2-3 million.?

[MaximusPrime]

Finally a game for xbox 360 fans. I know u have been waiting ages for this.
Not surprised if its sold out.
Ps3 fans have so many games to choose from whereas xbox360 only have a few. This explains why ps3 version are still available.

[LordMarius]

the bots are like starving strays searching for food(games)

[coolirisGB]

Finally a game for PS3 that isn't overhyped and can deliver even if it was overhyped. This game will put all ps3 games to shame in sales on the PS3. I didn't buy baseball hated Killzone 2 after beating it I traded it in and Infamuos is a weak game trying too hard to be great hence the poor sales of these games

[Marcelles25]

none of those games you listed sold
poorly

[-Mezzo-]

Only Xbox fans are dumb enough to shell out all that cash for no reason.

[IcyJoker187]

thats exactly what i was thinking

you can tell there is a higher pecentage of kids on the 360 side

[Stryfeno2]

Or maybe Xbox 360 fans have jobs a have a sizable income. Its not our fault your can't even afford to buy all your exclusives.

[IcyJoker187]

:)

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

yeah that's why KZ2 sold more than Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dead Rising, Crackdown, Star Ocean 4 and the same reason why LBP sold more than all those previous mentioned games and Bioshock for 360 and Mass Effect because PS3 owners don't buy exclusives . owned

[Major_Tom]

Right, it's not about sizable income, it's about being dumb enough to purchase worthless crap.

Like kids nightvision goggles.

[-Mezzo-]

mate you'd be surprised to know how much i make a month, i'll give you a rough number 18K Dollars.

[air1]

18k a month, yea, riigghhht......

you mean 18k a year.

[Saaking]

The 360 does have alot of kids on it especially American kids (yes I live in the US). The cheaper price means it's a good present for parents who don't want to spend too much money on their kids. The PS3 is for people who work hard to get what they want. I HATE kids on mics singing songs and crap ruining the game and calling everyone names. Seriously.

[pure pwnage24]

this was proven when they actually shelled out cash for there BrokeBoxPleaseFixMe

[-Mezzo-]

I'll get the normal version. so JOG On.

[chewmandinga]

When W@W came out, ASDA held a ridiculous sale, selling it for like £25 as opposed to £40-5 when it came out. I didn't end up getting it because i found out too late (i got there at about 1pm and they were apparantly sold out before 11am).

Gonna keep my eyes peeled this time around. Anything's a saving on a game that's potentially starting off a price hike.

[Jhun]

I guess you won't have to keep your eyes peeled if you had one of dem night vision gogggles.

[kalebgray92]

360 ppl have very limited choices so they flock to mw2.... odst is and expansion but it will sell of course.... lfd2 is whack if they would have waited a year it could actually improve (graphics the same with small tweaks, melee weapons should have been included in the original, oh and black ppl) and thats it pretty much

[LordMarius]

When you have more variety games like this are not such a big deal

[SH3MRON]

In a sense what you told is true the PS3 is gonna have more games this holiday season. The PS3 will sell more fighting, rpg and platformers than the 360. But when it comes to FPS they will sell more on the 360 at least till the PS3 gets a bigger install base. The 360 even with all its problems has the better online and Sony still hasn't given us (PS3 users) a party system and voice chat like the 360 does.

I use my ps3 for lots of things and almost every game I'll get it on the ps3 unless its online shooters.

360 Pros
Great online system
control is made out for FPS
Cons
Breaks to dam much

PS3 Pros
BluRay
Great exclusives
Much better control for fighting games.
Still has lots of potential unexplored

Cons
PSN hasn't matured yet needs better stuff like voice chat and a party system.
Convex analog

Even if you are a Fanboy you should know that online shooters will sell more and faster on the 360 like SFIV sold more on the PS3.

[nycredude]

CODMW2 could sell 1 gazzilain billions of copies and it will still be a generic, twitchy war shooter.

BTW If I catch any freaking perv in outside my house with these freaking night vision goggles on I will spray their asses up with my cyborg paintball marker!!!! 35 BPS FTW!

[LordMarius]

No surprise the bots like paying for junk

Xbots getting ripped off since 2006

[Lou Da Great]

one of the other guy commented that if you have friends with ps3 you are gonna wanna game with your friends vs noobs, now round my parts the ps3 is more common (bx-ny) i have many friends with p3's and others have the 360 but the p3 players play more together vs the x-box where half the time you will be matchmaking alone. but in the long run like i said gamers with game p3 vs 360 no one will know till the game comes out and mw2 will be a great game and hopefully the online play will have no problems because they spend time on story line but where the real action is online.

[xdye017]

89% of ps3 owners use their ps3 for blu-ray movies only......that explains why it MW2 is not sold out on ps3.

[Nitrowolf2]

well, the only reason im not getting CoDMW2 PE is
1. its to expensive, 149.99 for cheap ass goggles. = RIPOFF
2. Im using my money towards other games like uncharted 2, GT5, AC2, Demon souls, ect
3. i will buy the normal edition of the game
those goggle are just as cheap as this kid costume
http://drunkandoffensive.co...

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

and yet the remaining 11% have made Uncharted, LBP, GT5P, MGS4 , KZ2 , RFOM , Motor Storm sell better than most 360 games that doesn't have Halo or Gears in there name

[Nitrowolf2]

im pretty sure that, that percentage is equal(or less) to the number of 360 owners who use there system as a heater without them knowing it.

[-Mezzo-]

Ok we agree to (89% of ps3 owners use their ps3 for blu-ray movies only) but when ever i say that Blu-Ray is the future you Xbots say (Blu-Ray is not the future it not even needed).

Sucks.

[pure pwnage24]

we got other games to buy because we actually have games to look forward to than just dumping all our cash into 1 game

Uncharted 2, Rachet and Clank, MAG, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5

My money isn't thrown all over the place like buying multiple copies of the same game like this xbot in this video

you xbots buy so many games that you only play 2

skip to 1:23 in this vid

this is what an xbot looks like, oblivious that there aren't any good games to play on there system, so many bought but yet so little

and proof they don't care because many games are unopened

[clintos59]

Me & like 4 of my other friends are going to be playing this before everyone else. We all got our double layer dvd ready to burn this badboy & enjoy playing it system linking it. Gonna be a blast. :]

[Lou Da Great]

pirates?

[Babypuncher]

are you going to party like it's 1999?

[GameOn]

How does a pirate have so many bubbles?

Edit: Although Activision is screwing us over so....

[Major_Tom]

So one particular console fanbase is more gullible for crappy toys than the other? That's great to know.

[Sonyslave3]

We all know why the ps3 version isn't sold out because ps3 owners can't afford it just look at killzone 2 and infamous they cost $60 and they can't even afford them.

Just look at the sales for Killzone 2 and Infamous .

[Babypuncher]

@sonyslave:

you are right ps3 owners can't afford games, can someone please spot me a prestige edition of MW2 please?

[nycredude]

Dude, It's more likely that Ps3 owners CAN and DO afford a real QUALITY nvg instead of this fisher price wanabe. Do you think for this price you will actually get real night vision? A decent pair cost easily $800 to $1000. Don't be fooled man.

Edit: BTW since this guys above stated that Ps3 owners are poor then I guess I need to beg for your support so that I can continue gaming. Can you fellow gamers please send money to my paypal so I can afford games please.

Never mind that I own 62 bluray games and 22 psn games, not to mention all the Ps2 and psp and pc games I currently own.

Edit 2: Disagrees? Tell me where you can get decent night vision for $100 or less? You CAN'T. Or maybe you know how many games I have? Wierd.

[FantasyStar]

Damn guys, I'm dizzy from all the spin you guys are putting out.

[SH3MRON]

...whoever buys the prestige edition thinking they are buying NVG needs their brains checked. I will buy it for collection purposes not to run around on pitch black steets doing God knows what. (yeah Ill try them on sure once or twice then put it on a collectors stand)

Saying that PS3 owners can buy $800 NVG is nuts just because you have the most expensive console on the market does not mean you have money to throw away (unless you are a little kid whos parents buy anything they want) but on real life money is scarce and hard to get.

And people face it FPS will sell more on the 360 even with the RROD and E74 error.

[orange-skittle]

@ SonySlave3

That was the post of the day. You hit the nail on the head. It seems like PS3 ONLY users are always complaining about money. That's probably why they can't afford another console so the keep defending their purchase. They brag about Killzone 2, LBP, and inFamous being great games but they didn't buy them. Why do you think Activision made such a bold statement regarding their support for the PS3? Sonys users don't spend money on games. The only game that sold well on the PS3 was a multiplatform game(GTA4). I think the total sales for MGS4 was only 3 million. Gears of War 2 sold that much in less than a month and that was a just the second story in the series.

I own both and even though I enjoy my PS3, the PS3 fanboys make it difficult to side with them when they show such biased opinions. I think their arguments show why they have only 1 system. How can a PSN user actually compare it XBL. Give credit to XBL for having a better interface at only $50 a year. That's less than a game purchase and just $4 a month when you break it down. You spend more than that on 2 packs of gum a month. Who complains about that except PS3 fans? Why do games sell better on 360, because 360 users support software...period. Everything sells well on 360(even GTA4).

@ xg-ei8ht

So you are now part of the Xbox360 development team. You were their when they prototyped the system and heard Peter Moore say that the console is MADE FOR SHOOTERS? Even the games you listed outsold any PS3 title. COD4 came out 2 years after the consoles release and you you say it was made for 360. So I guess PS3 has been getting inferior games since they weren't made for that system? I guess that's why Sony tried to implement a trigger in the R2 buttons instead of their standard flap? This is exactly what I was saying about these fanboys making dumb arguments. BTW, Gears and Halo sold more than 4 PS3 exclusives.....why?

@ No More Trolling

You can't play on XBL with modded 360. That has been a factor since the original xbox. You have 24hrs before they detect it and shut you down. Pirates have 2 consoles(modded and unmodded). Most pirates don't care about playing online. they just want to play the game. Notice the guy that said he will have a pirated version said he would play them on linked consoles(not XBL). Just giving you a heads up

[Sonyslave3]

lol yall ps3fans got a choice my ass yall know yall ain't buying sh!t .

Ps3fanboys don't even have enough money to buy killzone 2 or infamous so MW2 prestige is out of their price range.

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

is that a fact huh well tell me way Mass Effect and many other 360 game got outsold by Uncharted , LBP & GT5P just to name a few yeah PS3 owners don't buy games

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

and yet KZ2 still outsold the 360 line up of 2009 that's just sad when Flopzone outsold all the 360 exclusives released so far that's what you guys call it right Flopzone 2 right well i guess you have to change Halo Wars to FAILO Wars

[air1]

zombien calm down...

yes its flopzone 2 it didnt even do half of what gears did ;)

yes lbp out sold mass effect, was that the game that was supposed to end the 360? or was it r2? oh no wait it was mgs4? right? wtf am i talking abut we are in 09 its the price cut thats going to end the 360..

"and kz2 out sold the 360s library in 09" sadly not by much, kinda sad considering it had no real competition. but the year isnt over yet, so dont start jumping too high you just ight break an ankle. lets not forget what happened all the other years..

could you imagine if kz2 came out around the same time as mw2? that just might of been gg last game. i wonder how kz2 is going to hold up in the online over the holidays. halo 3 holds up great even to this day with games like mw, gears2, and yup kz2.. i think it will be dead in the water. why you thin gg stepped back from the game already..

[Tinted Eyes]

lol at air1 trying to spin spin spin

[Nitrowolf2]

@air
could you imagine if anygame came out near MW2? it would probaly get ignore for a while, no matter the game, even if it was halo or gears. MW2 is a multiplat game, of course its gonna be huge, CoD series has always been huge.

[air1]

yes i agree many games would get ignored but not as bad as kz2. hell that game is ignored now all by itself. mw2 being a multi plat game would out sell any but i dont think it can out sell halo on just the 360 console.

you ppl know the power master chief has.

what i was trying to point out was that halo3 was still the most played game online yes even over mw at points, even years later. i would love to see if kz2 can do that..

@ ZOMBIEMAN1

lol, " and yet KZ2 still outsold the 360 line up of 2009 that's just sad when Flopzone outsold all the 360 exclusives released so far that's what you guys call it right Flopzone 2 right well i guess you have to change Halo Wars to FAILO Wars "

but ... i thought you ps3 fans said there have not been any games on the 360... so it can't be a hard thing to outsell a none-existent line up.

And i like how you are comparing The ps3's graphical showcase game that had been hyped since launch to halo wars and RTS spin off... how long did killzone 2 take to sell more copies, i know it didn't do it at launch, lol.

[Stately Gentleman]

Yes well by the looks of the situation it appears that these so called xbots are clamoring for a decent video-game that there shelves have been lacking these past few years.

[No_NaMe]

Yeahh , she plays well but im way better!

Xbox Live FTW!

[cr33ping_death]

man i own the PS3 and 360 and will be getting this for the 360 only because of friends..... but the (Bend me over edition) i will not get, Phuq you Activision . and who cares if its sold out for the 360? is that supposed to make people who are going to wear the goggles cool or something?

[FantasyStar]

LOL "bend me over edition". You deserve a bubble! People are making a big deal out of nothing. People can choose to buy what they want. Life goes on.

Next will be the "suck me off edition"

[ipe]

n4ps3g but cod4 didnt sold 11M on 360.How they came up with that number they knows.

Also no way i ll buy useless hardener edition with so much games on horizon 4 ps3.Maybe regular edition later when price cut hits

[Gish]

This is rough... I have always heard FPS is better on 360 but all my friends have PS3's. I pretty much have no friends on 360 to play with...

P.S. I forgot to add, WHO THE HELL IS PAYING 160 BUCKS FOR THIS??? Am I the only one living in a recession??

[wiggles]

I agree...but the more important question is who would buy $70 NVGs when people have been telling us that military grade will easily reach 1K...and a decent pair is atleast $300!

[GameOn]

Playing with friends is always going to be better than playing with randoms.

[younglj01]

.........................

[wiggles]

All of the 360 Prestige editions got sold out! That's going to make for a lot of angry people when they realize $70 NVGs aren't all they are cut out to be...

[xabmol]

All those people out there wearing these NVG's bumping into walls?

Bet you Hospitals all over the world get a spike in foot injuries on launch day. Due to toe stubbage. LOL

[wiggles]

But I can't wait for little Billy who just bough his nice PE edition to be playing MW2 when a night scene comes up..he pauses and puts on the NVGs...lol, and then his jerk friend comes in and shines a flashlight in his face.

[Ninji]

It advertises kids NVGs (not quality NVGs but the kind you would find at a Toys R Us), they don't have any other games to play, and it's a shooter. That's all they play is shooters (just look at the top list that they put out each week and you'll see that most of that list consists of shooters). I also prefer shooters that aren't overpriced and don't consist of floaty controls with run & gunning + nade spamming.

[Crystallis]

Who cares which system your getting it for. Both systems will look and play identical, and who cares about the timed exclusive DLC(only fanboys). I myslef am getting it for the ps3 b/c thats where my clan plays. All 64 of em to be exact:)

[Crystallis]

I swear some of the comments you 360 fanboys spit out blows my mind. Do you even think before you type stupid comments like these?

"ps3 owners cant afford games thats why mw2 wont sell out" ?!?!?! What the hell...??

[Lord_Ranos]

Dont blame them they prefer the thrashbox then their owned education.

YEY FOR THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah that's why KZ2 sold more than Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dead Rising, Crackdown, Star Ocean 4 and the same reason why LBP sold more than all those previous mentioned games and Bioshock for 360 and Mass Effect because PS3 owners don't buy exclusives . owned

let me correct you droid. it outsold halo wars by what a few? a real time strategy game on a console sold as well as an over hyped fps on ps3. could you provide a link to where kz2 out sold bioshock for 360.. i find that hard to believe. i don't even think killflop reached 2 million yet, well it hasn't if you minus the ones that we're bundled.

lbp hasn't reached 2 million yet. you fail on that one. i got one question zombiedroid, how many sellers are on 360 that are 1 million plus, and how many games on ps3 are 1 million sellers plus?

fact is there are supposedly over 23 million ps3's out there, and over all the software sells suck ass on ps3. it is a shame that the exclusives that sony brings out sell worse than the 3rd party games that come out for ps3. mgs4 isn't first party, sold well, but there again subtract the bundled units, what's left?

sony loses money because of it's own fanbase, period. sony sinks a ton of money into their exclusives, and most the time see a pitiful return on those titles. (if any return) you droids simply do not buy/play games. the facts say you don't, and mostly what is played on ps3 is the same games i can get on my 360, with the exception of the fact that those same games run, look, and play better on my 360.

you droids "cry exclusives" all the damn time, i guess i would too if i only owned a ps3. you guys play this angle because even still to this day, almost 3 yrs later the other 98% of the games released are multiplats that look, play, and run better on the 360. the exclusives are the only games that are even enjoyable on the ps3, and yet you guys still do not buy them.

poor droids.
poor sony. (this isn't being sarcastic, i do feel sorry for them, they got a fuked up fanbase)

[silverchode]

this proves people who buy a 360 dont mind paying for useless junk xD

[Ninji]

I think that was proven when they bought the HD-DVD add-on.

[Saaking]

The bots are used to buy overprice sh!t aren't they and besides with no exclusives to buy they can afford to waste their money on worthless stuff. The bots are ruining gaming. By buying a 360 they showed MS that people buy their sh!t even if it's defective. By buying this they're telling activision it's okay to overprice their items and treat consumers like crap. Seriously I know bots are stupid but I didn't know it was this bad.

[BrokenAnarchy]

I'll just stick with my normal edition right now, especially when I may get it for both systems

[Saaking]

Why do the x360 fans treat multiplats as exclusives? Sure it'll sell a lot on 360 but it's also going to sell a lot on the PS3. Didn't COD 4 sell like 4-5 million on the PS3?

[xg-ei8ht]

N4PS3G

How does cod4 have 11million live players when only 7.62million have been sold.

I bet he was pissed.lol. The exact words used from eurogamer below.

"I'm delighted that we just reached 11 million unique players on Xbox Live and we've got over 4 million on PSN," Bowling said, according to eyewitnesses (who'd had a bit to drink so don't blame us if the wording isn't exact).

I even expect MW2 to be higher on 360 then any other version, it would be, that's what the console was designed for, shooters. Even the control scheme on the controller is for that very reason.

Look at the sellers.

COD4
HALO3
GEARS OF WAR

Clues are in the titles.

[no_more_trolling]

"How does cod4 have 11million live players when only 7.62million have been sold."

u are so naive. do u know about piracy? people with modded xbox can still play on xbox live

id$#t

[Aloren]

You seem even more naive to me. Used and borrowed copies surely have a lot more to do with that figure than piracy...

[Gun_Senshi]

Only idiots will buy overpriced Prestige Edition with a gimick toy.

[xabmol]

Doesn't say as much about the product as it does the buyers.

xD

[Capulous]

People buy what they want; it's their money. They can spend it how they want. I'm sure there are people that would question some of your purchases as well.

[no_more_trolling]

worth every frikkin penny

not my penny tho, ill get the normal version, or if i have no money ill pirate it

[OhMyGandhi]

you guys are really going at it,
need I break out the Midol?

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I can findem for both consoles at retailers around me. I don't buy this sold out garbage!

[caffman]

still showing as waiting for suplly. As is my GT5 one from amazon for £17.59. And why have I ordered the prestige? Because I have the money and its my choice.

[tudors]

Have you tried to get goggles of this type before, even if you sold the goggles the least you would end up with is a free game because they are easily worth the price, there green infrared night vision, exellent for UFO enthusiasts.

[Dringostarr]

Why are so many people caught up about these not being $800 NVGs. What are you hoping to do, invade Iraq?

These devices are fine for mucking about in your house, garden or park.

[ShadowCK]

Lol at all the Playstation loons trying to sabotage CoD: Modern Warfare 2. None of us are going to take you guys seriously and you're all a joke, just like your games.

[-Mezzo-]

Our games are joke, well according to the critics and every gamers who has actually played them, they are a kick in the nut sack of other platforms.

[DARK WITNESS]

you know... it just crossed my mind. Maybe thats what the price hike in EU and the PC versions were for. to pay the difference on the NVG. lol

Activision are not getting a penny from me for any version of this game. I will get it pre-owned later.

[Dringostarr]

It's because of pre-owned that they're having to rise prices in the first place. It's destroying games.

[DARK WITNESS]

True, but in doing so the are only going to fuel it more.

Most people buy pre-owned because even at the old price a lot of gamers felt they were being over charged.

This is going to be one of those catch 22 situations.

I use to never buy games second hand, but now they are doing this.. and if other publishers follow then i will be doing so a lot more.

[Gamer1111]

damn so what if people get it ps3 fanboys sound butthurt. fact still is that.

MW2 PE
MW2 HE
mw2 Reg.......

^^^ are going to all sell better on the 360. oo and i work at gamestop and plenty of ps3 owners have reserved the MW2 PE aswell. such iggnorant hypocrites

[mebob]

Lol at all the hyped up fanboys......Just because "ONE" site sells out of 360 "Limited" edition CODmw2 copys and now there like "OMGZ TIS a SYSTEM SEELER FOR TEH 360 CONFIRMED!!!".

[Dringostarr]

It will sell more on 360 because there are more 360 users than PS3 users.

It is also more suited to the 360 fan-base, which is filled with online FPS fans.

It's obvious.

And it will shift systems for PS3 and 360. Possibly 360 more so.

[MetalProxy]

Seriously what else do they (360 doods) have to look forward to this year?...*crickets chirping
Dont even bother with your multiplatform list, thank you very much.

[Dringostarr]

Whoa, there's as many top games coming to 360 as PS3 and Wii... Forza, Halo, Shadow Complex, Left 4 Dead...

And why can't 360 gamers look forward to multiformat games?

[ShadowCK]

Yeah, they are all a joke and you're an even bigger joke to judge games entirely on reviews, most reviewers these days reconsider games entirely on their hype. Such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Halo 3 and GTA IV.

Everyone is an overstatement; lots of people who have played your games haven't enjoyed them. There are opinions in this large world my little friend and they are all different, trying to sell your opinion as a fact is a sign of a troll. What are you?

[ramiuk1]

of course this wll sell systems,due to one fact

call of duty 4 modern warefare is prob one of the biggest online games ever,thansk to the xbox 360 and i know a few people that have sold there playstation 3 consoles and are buying a 360 when it comes out,due to the fact online is smoother and more people play it online,also the ps seems easier to make hacks for than 360 as it has a open hardrive structure(with the news of the hacks lately its put alot of people i kno off the ps3

[N4G king]

hmmmm
all of those xbots talking about
how the ps3 fans don't have money
but on the other hand
there always keep talking about there much cheaper xbox360

hmmmmm
now thats kinda f*cked up
isn't it ??
