Apart from the night-vision goggles, the Prestige pack will also include a copy of the original Call of Duty.<\/p>\n<p>Activision announced two weeks ago that the Prestige Edition would sell for $149 (R1200) in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>This pricing is not final, but Megarom did confirm to Xboxgaming that the price can be taken as a ball park figure.&nbsp; Kalahari Games&rsquo; does mention in its tweet that &ldquo;much cheaper Kalahari.net preorders will be up tomorrow&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Kalahari.net is not however the only online store that has published pricing on the Prestige Edition. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wantitall.co.za\/modern-warfare-2-prestige-edition\/All\/p1\" target=\"_blank\">Wantitall.co.za<\/a> currently has the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the Prestige pack on preorder for R1818 each, undercutting Kalahari&rsquo;s price by almost R500. Wantitall imports items directly from the USA as opposed to Kalahari which goes through local distribution chains.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, PC owners will not be receiving a Prestige Edition, as Activision will only be releasing the pack for PS3 and Xbox 360. We did stumble across these<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wantitall.co.za\/Toys\/EyeClops-Night-Vision-Infrared-Stealth-Goggles__B00153F5QA\" target=\"_blank\"> bad-boys<\/a> on Wantitall; fully functional night-vision goggles for R1170, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zaps.co.za\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Zaps<\/a> has Modern Warfare 2 on preorder for R368 and is selling the original Call of Duty Deluxe pack for R48.<\/p>\n<p>PC owners can therefore build their own custom Prestige pack for R1586.<\/p>\n<p>In all seriousness though, we await final pricing details and are anticipating a significant reduction on Kalahari&rsquo;s pre-order price. Prices are also likely to come down once more retailers start getting on board.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?p=76112#post76112\" target=\"_self\">Discuss MW Prestige Edition <\/a>in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prestige pack R500 cheaper than an actual Xbox 360 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4189\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
