Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition -Top 5 Reasons to get it!

Seems like a lot of games are coming out with special edition bundles, which I find totally useless unless they are over the top, just like this Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition package. Screw those who put little figurines or picture books and call them "limited edition," because for me, limited edition should be something you can't just buy later on, something thats different and makes you say, "wow, thats bloody awesome!" And the Prestige Edition gives you just that with its fully functional night vision goggles! Yes you heard it right, fully functional night vision goggles which I'm sure will make those perverts out there very happy!


Thus, here are Vantage's top 5 reasons to justify that hefty $150 (~P7200) price tag!

1) IT'S REALLY A BARGAIN IF YOU LOOK AT IT - If you truely enjoyed the first installment or just COD for that matter, considering what it comes with, the price isn't actually that bad. Its basically the Hardened Edition (which comes with an art book & special tin packaging) which is $80, and then you get Modern Warfare branded night vision goggles which then come out to be around $70. And your typical run of the mill night vision goggles already cost over $100, so this is a bargain.

2) IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BADASS! - Yes, I can already imagine going downstairs for a midnight snack, going all Sam Fisher mode just to get some food. Experiencing black-outs in your area? NO PROBLEM! No lights necessary here! It will even save you a lil on your electricity bill!

3) F#*K AROUND WITH PEOPLE - When you pull practical jokes on your friends and it works, nothing else gives you that little surge of joy and happiness. With these NVG's, you can do just that. Camp out somewhere at night and kick the shit out of them or scare them like no other!

4) GO COOP ON SOMEONE - Both you and your friend have $150 lying around? Whats more fun that messing with people? Messing with people with a friend! I can think of so many stupid things you can do with these, but thats reserved for another "Top-series."

5) SEX WILL BE... INTERESTING - Granted you will look stupid if you had these on, but think about all those times when you wanted to have sex with the lights on but your girl was insecure or just didn't allow it. Say goodbye to those days!

PS3 Slim: Real or Fake?

...You be the judge. I'm still calling this one fake though cuz I'm the type of person who wont believe it til i see it (and right now, no ones seen it! haha). But if I am wrong and the PS3 Slim did get leaked and looks like this... its looking pretty sweet. It's said to be around the same size (if not smaller) as the first-gen PS2. Though it would 10x better if the casing was polished instead of matte.

Let us know, why do YOU think its real or fake?

PS3 Slim in the Philippines?!

For the gamers out there, I'm sure you've already heard, the PS3 Slim has been spotted in the Philippines, coincidentally where we're from. I know, I know, we're late on the news, but I've actually been following a thread on the Pinoyps.com site (local PS3 forum) for updates and someone was actually supposed to check it out yesterday so I was hoping to wait for the news and post it here right away. But it seems that someone bought it before our contact could check it out.



For those who are still in the dark, news thus far is that the one who was selling it said it came from the States and now, the unit has been sold to someone for around P22k ($460), most likely to be re-sold at a much higher price (that's the way the Philippines works). A group of curious cats on the pinoyps.com forum have said that they will go today and look for it, finally validating whether or not this is a hoax.

BUT, since this is Vantage, it's never complete without our point of view... and I call BULLSHIT! Although I dont really need to explain myself, I will anyway. Some of my major arguments is that if it is indeed out, leaked, stolen or whatever, and is in the hands of someone out there, why hasn't Sony said anything? This news is out on probably all the major gaming sites, yet Sony has kept quiet. Why? Cuz its probably fake! If its already out and someone has it, how can Sony not acknowledge or confirm it when its already in someones hands? And out of all the places in the world for it to be leaked, why the Philippines? I mean no offense to our country, cuz after all, its my home too, but why not China, Japan or Korea? Correct me if im wrong, but aren't PS3's made in Japan or China? Why would it be leaked in the States and go as far as to be brought here?

Another argument is that hey, this is the Philippines, the land of fake stuff! There are PSP hand held look-a-likes that aren't real, Vii's, iPhones that claim to be iPhones but are fake, Nokia 6300's from China that hella look like the real deal, and even a Nokia N98.... yeah, N98, what the F#@K is that?! And for the guy who has it not to post pics or something on the net is also very suspicious.

Another thought is that it could be a "re-pack." What I mean by that is that someone got a hold of the fake/leaked casing from a few months ago, and just transfered the internals of the original PS3 into that one. Also maybe switching out the harddisk to a bigger one and making the power supply external, much like the PS2 Slim.

Anyway, I could go on and on about why I call this one a big hoax, but hey, I COULD be wrong. These are just my reasons why I don't think its real. I've gotta see it to believe it. Anyway, only time will tell, after those who have ventured to the land of the fakes to look for the coveted Slim PS3.
