This morning a seemingly inconspicuous package arrived at our doorstep. I had my silent hopes that within lay the ability to see in the dark and also play a fun video game. It turns out I was right.Here it is, untouched in its natural beauty:The actual game hides out in the back of the box, looking through a plastic window:This bad boy is securely restrained by tons of those little annoying, impossible-to-cut twist-ties:A plastic, hollow replica of Soap's head. Ya know, for putting the goggles on:Here he is with the new toy strapped snugly to his face:And of course, no un-boxing is complete without our very own Jeff Cork, proudly displaying the NVGs. The Solid Snake facial hair is a nice touch:The goggles themselves require 5 AA batteries, so make sure you have some extra handy. It would be a shame to throw all the batteries from your controllers into these only to drain them and thus be rendered unable to play Modern Warfare 2. You're gonna wanna play that game, as it turns out it's pretty good.I turned the lights out in the bathroom and wandered around like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs for awhile. These things really work. It's a surprisingly fun novelty turning them on and off to remind yourself you are actually navigating pitch blackness. I'm not sure what the draw distance would be on something like these, so likely I'll need to run through the night like a crazy person to know for sure. I'm not pretending to be any NVG-guru, but these are definitely fun and functional.
In the meantime, I really need to play some more Modern Warfare 2. Any of you making time to tinker with these things in between MW2 marathons?
My little brother actually has a similar pair of night-vision goggles, though those ones look much cooler. How big is the green screen you see then?
Metal... Gear?
I heard the distance is around 50 or so feet but thats just what I hear. ;)
Your model is a very handsome man with fantastic taste in hats.
This is definitly one of the coolest special edition packages around.
I'm sad that I didn't get the Prestige Edition, but I opted to go all out and get the Xbox with game. Still...night vision goggles are cool.
That is so cool.
I want it for IRL Capture the Flag!

The exact size of the screen is hard to say. I'd reckon it's about the size of PSPgo screen? Maybe a little shorter.
wachhaaaa! facial makes the goggle look good
facial hair I meant... wachhaaaa!
i'm waiting for mine to arrive.
not worth the extra $70 considering you can buy a whole new game with that much. however, i did trade in my old 360 to get the "Xbox 360 250GB MW2 bundle". yeah, i know, i could have kept my old xbox 360 bought MW2 and bought a whole lot of games but i cannot pass up a new 250GB HDD especially since my old one is 20GB and running out fast!.
I don't know what to do! Should I buy Prestige or Hardened? I am trying to think about what and why I would need these night vison goggles but the answer is simple, cause they are there. WHAT DO I DO!
I love it it works great! tried it at midnight!
Screw the goggles I'm in it for the plastic head!
omg that is of the chain
