SKUs

Forget about Call of Duty: World at War, that hot zombie-filled mess. We loved it, but another year, another COD. This is the real sequel to Modern Warfare that you've been waiting for.

Modern Warfare 2 comes in several different SKUs. You have the option to buy a standard version (just the disc and a manual), which is your only option if you play on PC. The step up from that is the Hardened Edition ($79.99), which packages the game and the manual in a steel case with an art book and a token to download the original Call of Duty from Xbox Live or PSN. The Prestige Edition ($149.99) has everything the Hardened Edition has, bundled in with night-vision goggles that really work. You'll also get a head mold based on in-game character "Soap" MacTavish to rest the goggles on when shenanigans are not taking place, or to display as the centerpiece of your mannequin collection.

If you really want to go all-out, you can order a limited edition Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 ($399.99). The bundle includes an Xbox 360 with a Modern Warfare 2 design and a 250 gig hard drive, the biggest hard drive Microsoft has released for the 360 (no, it won't be available separately, at least for now). Two wireless controllers and a copy of the standard edition game round out the package, which is a great deal for anyone looking to pick up a new 360. We don't care how you do it, as long as you get your hands on the game somehow. It's just going to be that good.
