PC Gamers: No Night Vision Goggles For You

In a surprise blow to PC gamers with fat wallets and a penchant for covert ops, it looks like the PlayStation 3 [http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/].

Yes, that Prestige Edition: The one that comes in a special announced [http://www.steelbook.com/] the ridiculous (and ridiculously cool) Prestige Edition earlier in July, setting a new standard for over-the-top special edition releases that come packed with crap that may only be tangentially related to the game but is nonetheless just too damn awesome not to have.

But PC gamers may have to get used to not having, in this case at least: Best Buy [http://www.gamestop.com/browse/ProductMerch.aspx?groupid=445] all have the Prestige Edition listed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but give no indication of a PC version; the best option available to the mouse-and-keyboard crowd at the moment is the Hardened Edition, which doesn't include the goggles.

It could be an oversight similar to the short-lived PlayStation 3 Mass Effect 2 rumor [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93209-Dragon-Age-Origins-Collectors-Edition-Unveiled-UPDATED] but if not, it's a rather odd omissions. PC gamers are generally regarded as being more willing to blow huge wads of cash to feed their habit than their console counterparts, so why deny them access to a game that requires both a hefty surplus of cash and a complete lack of discretion about what to do with it? This kind of collector's edition is practically made for the PC side.

Personally, I'm clinging to the hope that Infinity Ward [http://www.activision.com] finish. Hey, dare to dream, right? We've contacted Activision to ask about the Prestige Edition for PC and will post an update when we hear back.

OK, now it's just getting ridiculous, "Hey guys I got an idea, lets not market our extremely high priced edition to the people who regularly spend hundreds of dollars to keep their system in working order", "That's a great idea, wanna go eat some shit?" "Do I ever!". Plus do we need to keep giving PC gamers the shaft with EVERYTHING?
This speaks the truth!
Who thought it was a good idea to alienate the PC gamers?

Oh for- I'm starting to sound like a broken record now. They could have lowered the fucking piracy rate by bundling that, are they stupid?

Fuck you Activision. Nothing more needs to be said or discussed.

Given Activision's actions lately, I don't see why they wouldn't alienate PC gamers.

Probably the same people who decided that thought there needed to be an Alien Vs. Predator movie. Also Shadow what do you think of my new Avatar?
Quite badass good sir. May I ask if you took that yourself?

Not shadow but it sucks....Get da gunslinger back!

Anyway. So high prices in the UK and no PC prestige edition.
Modern Warfare 2 is going to be the most pirated game this year. You don't mess with the PC folk! We bite hard.

No. Found it somewhere, and you do realize whats on it right?
If I may ask, who is behind the two Twilight characters? Blade? It's size destroys my eyes.

I can't tell. My guess would be Santa Claus, but that's a long shot.
