A devoted Call of Duty fan stumbled upon a great discount for the Prestige Edition of Call of Duty: Ghosts at their local Walmart. Call of Duty: Ghosts, released in 2013, marked a significant milestone as the first CoD game available on eighth generation consoles as a cross-gen release. Developed by Infinity Ward, Call of Duty: Ghosts garnered attention for not so positive reasons, sadly.
Leading up to the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts, every main installment in the Call of Duty franchise had received exceptional praise from critics. However, Call of Duty: Ghosts received a more mixed response, with fans expressing dissatisfaction with the multiplayer and feeling that the series' campaign formula was becoming repetitive. The dislike towards Call of Duty: Ghosts was significant enough that, despite ending with a clear setup for a sequel, no follow-up has been released to this day.
At the time of its 2013 release, Call of Duty: Ghosts offered a variety of options for players who were not deterred by mixed reviews. Apart from the different console versions, there were also several editions available, each with bonus content. The most highly acclaimed edition, known as the Prestige Edition, came with a 1080p camera, a Season Pass for four DLC map packs, a paracord strap, a steelbook, an in-game patch, card, and background, as well as a digital copy of the official soundtrack. While the original price was $199.99, a Reddit user stumbled upon this edition at their local Walmart for the significantly reduced price of $89.00, despite its release a decade ago. Although the box shows signs of wear, such as faded colors and damage around the edges, it still presents an appealing opportunity for avid Call of Duty fans or collectors.
Some consider Call of Duty: Ghosts to be a weaker installment in the series. However, there are still nostalgic fans who would eagerly seize the opportunity to add the Prestige Edition to their collection, particularly at the price of $89.00. On the other hand, some may prefer to save their funds for new Call of Duty experiences, such as the yet-to-be-revealed 2023 game at the time of writing. Call of Duty: Ghosts is accessible on PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
