What’s in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige and Hardened Editions?

First noted by IGN, online retailer Buy.com had a product listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops Collector’s Editions. Buy.com was listing the Prestige Edition at $149.99 and the Hardened Edition at $79.99 which are the exact same prices from last year’s Hardened and Prestige Editions for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Upon further investigation into these special editions by myself, I have noticed that Buy.com has removed their product listings mentioning anything about Call of Duty: Black Ops other than to allow users to pre-order the normal edition for release on November 9^th. I have found no other listings on the Prestige or Hardened editions from other retailers.

Those prices could just be placeholder prices that we hear about so often when retailers are speculating in order to be the first on the scene to accept pre-orders. However the more important issue is, what will these Collector’s Editions contain? Will anything ever top the working night vision goggles that were included in Modern Warfare 2’s Prestige Edition? What about a paintball gun in the image of a weapon from the game? Would that even be legal?
