From Major Nelson:
Everyone at Xbox LIVE is excited to offer the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package first on Xbox LIVE. Infinity Ward, Activision, and Xbox are celebrating the launch and would like to thank everyone by offering the entire Xbox LIVE community free Modern Warfare 2 Night Vision Goggles for your avatar.
This free offer is available until Sunday April 4th night at 12m PT, so don’t miss out. (See what time the offer ends in your time zone.)
It’s no secret this is to apologize for screwing up the launch of the Stimulus Package DLC, arguably one of the biggest DLC launches ever. So, yeah, free Avatar stuff, can’t complain.
