UK tabloid the Daily Star picks up on Modern Warfare 2's night vision prestige edition to brand buyers as "ogling pervs."
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition, priced at £120 in the UK (exclusive to HMV), includes a fully functional set of night vision goggles, which many a gaming websites teased.
UK tabloid,
the Daily Star, has scoured UK gaming blogs for posts on the goggles, featuring our friends at both VG247 and PS3 Attitude.

"They're good enough for stealth dogging/cruising and I think that's all anyone really cares about."

PS3Attitude writes jokingly:
"Now instead of squinting to see what appears to be a shadow in the house next door, you can put these bad boys on and become the Peeping Tom you've always wanted to be."
Branding purchasers of the edition as "gaming nuts," the Daily Star points to these posts as admitting that the goggles will be used for "stealth dogging" and spying on "gay cruising spots."
We can't tell who's joking any more. Have a gander at the goggles in the video below.
