<p>Obviously not content with HMV snapping the UK rights to the mega-expensive <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/07/mw2-prestige-edition/">Sex-pest Edition</a> of Modern Warfare 2, GAME have lept in there to attempt to re-assert themselves as numero-uno in the high-street Modern Warfare 2 Special Edition war.</p>
<p>Called the Veteran package, it comes with the same &#8216;Hardened Edition&#8217; as the Prestige Edition (meaning alongside the unique content, you get the game (*shock*), a Steelbook game case, art book and Call of Duty on XBLA/PSN), only instead of the bargain-basement night vision goggles &#38; stand you get a doll&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-2120"></span></p>
<p>Not any doll mind you, this is a 1/6th scale, &#8230; <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/09/modern-warfare-2-veteran-edition/" class="read_more">Read More...</a></p>]]></description>

<p>Well, at least Activision&#8217;s effort <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/07/mw2-prestige-edition/" target="_blank">allows you to spy the girl next door</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-1980"></span></p>
<p>Codemasters seem to be attempting to piggy-back on Modern Warfare 2&#8242;s insano-marketing by offering the cash-flush an equally pointless and overtly extravagant special edition.</p>
<p>£30 or the equivalent in Euro-dollars can buy you a copy of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, the <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/03/bohemia-get-shirty-over-codemasters-flashpoint-marketing/" target="_blank">officially unofficial official</a> sequel to the 2001 Bohemia Interactive-developed military sim.</p>
<p>But, get this, for <em>MORE</em> money (we&#8217;re currently not sure just how much it&#8217;ll harm your wallet), you get the above officially unofficial official sequel to Operation Flashpoint along with a full-size adult military &#8230; <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/08/codemasters-ofp2-helmet-silliness/" class="read_more">Read More...</a></p>]]></description>

<p>Cast your minds back to the last, excessive special edition&#8230;</p>
<p>Thinking of the <a href="http://news.filefront.com/bioshock-collectors-edition-box-revealed-with-included-big-daddy/" target="_blank">BioShock SE w. fake soundtrack &#38; Big Daddy figure</a>?  Think bigger!  Hows about the imminent <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3173661" target="_blank">Batman: Arkham Asylum SE with 1:1 Batarang &#38; Wildstorm Art Book</a>?  Come on, you can do better than that!</p>
<p>Hows about Actizzard offering up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (note the apparently re-introduced brand name) in a Prestige Edition, which includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The highly anticipated sequel in a nice steelbook case</li>
<li>An artbook</li>
<li>The original Call of Duty (branded Call of Duty : Classic) over PSN/XBLA</li>
<li>A plastic molded head </li>&#8230; <a href="http://www.computersnstuff.co.uk/2009/07/mw2-prestige-edition/" class="read_more">Read More...</a></ul>]]></description>
