Amazon kept running out of pre-orders for Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition. The third time they got more pre-orders they only got 1 copy and were selling it for $700!!  :O I waited a few hours and luckily they got more copies and the price went back down to the original $150.

My buddy got the Prestige edition. And I fully expected to NVG's to be a complete waste....They're actually -really- cool. We were playing with them at work. Pitch black room, IR emitting diodes. Could see just fine. Was actually really impressed with em.

Gen 2's are fine for what I would need them for.  Beside I don't want all the crap that comes with having gen 3's.

Can't comment on the ones for the kiddies as I haven't ran across a pair. But the ones that come with the Prestige edition don't suck.

I agree with Toof. My buddy brought his into work a week ago. We took them out on the flight line and they work great. I could see pilots picking their nose a good distance away while doing their pre flight.

Just hink about them going through that check list.
