Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition Expensive In UK

17 Jul 2009 at 12:56:35 by Tim McDonald

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Prestige Edition will be on sale exclusively at HMV in the UK, for £119.99 GBP.

The Prestige Edition packs in the game in a steel book case, an art book, a token for the original Call of Duty over Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network, a Soap MacTavish bust, and a pair of fully-functional night vision goggles. No, really, and it'll only be at HMV.

We already knew that the Prestige Edition would be costly, with the US version listed at around $150 USD, but as that converts to about £92 GBP we can't help but feel slightly stiffed at the £30 GBP markup.

We're also being screwed on the price of the regular version though, with the RRP over here set at a whopping £54.99 GBP for the console versions and £39.99 GBP for the PC release, while it looks like our American cousins will pay $59.99 USD across all systems - about £35 GBP.

That's not how exchange rates work, guys. Really.
