The recently announced Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition - including a collector’s bust of Captain ‘Soap’ MacTavish from the game, a special edition Steelbook, an art book, a code to download the original Call of Duty game over PSN or Xbox Live and a fully-functional set of Night Vision Goggles - has been secured for the UK by HMV, and will be retailed at a hefty £119.99.

Along with the release of the Prestige Edition, which will hit shelves on 10th November, HMV is reportedly planning a series of in-store events to accompany the release.

“This is a fantastic limited edition exclusive for hmv.com customers for what is, undoubtedly, the game of the year,” said HMV’s commercial manager Jonathan Hayes. “We’re absolutely delighted that we can help make such a special premium product available to fans of the Modern Warfare franchise.

“We’ve been working very closely with Activision to make Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 one of the biggest entertainment events of all time. With this great exclusive and the upcoming launch we hope that everybody gets to play this brilliant game.”

The Prestige Edition will be on general release in the US, but will be exclusive only to HMV stores in the UK. If you fancy your own pair of night vision goggles along with possibly the biggest release of 2009, then you'd better get into your nearest HMV as soon as November 10th hits, as copies of the prestige edition are likely to fly off the shelves.

If you don't manage to get your hands on a copy, you're going to be looking at forking out £54.99 for the normal edition of the game.
