Tomb Raider Limited Edition Controller announced + Summary about upcoming Tomb Raider Special Editions
Recently at the CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, and Microsoft revealed a special Tomb Raider Limited Edition Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.
The new controller is red and features a two-layer color finish with laser etching to create a worn appearance that is inspired by Lara’s axe and the tourniquets that come from her intense adventure.
Additionally, every Limited Edition Controller includes a DLC code for an exclusive Xbox 360 character known as the Scavenger Archer
The Limited Edition Controller of Tomb Raider will be on sale in March for $59.99 USD/ £39.99 GBP and can already be pre-ordered at Game.co.uk

Can't wait for the game, but it's sad that I won't have CE, ir has been canceled for CZ :/
I already pre-ordered the CE, the one with the figure...The 360 pad looks less than inspiring if I'm honest, it doesn't even have a TR logo on it.....Any pics of the packaging for the pad?
Thanks Ayiu, that looks more promising, might have to pre order one of those now.
ayiu thats more like it, no more pga
But I'm wondering why non of my latest news can be seen on facebook?

The tr word can be found on the bottom of the battery cover
So,no UK steelbook?
I'm not aware that the UK will get a Steelbook. But there's still some time.
But maybe some of you are interested in that there will be a Hardcover Limited Edition Strategy Guide.

Looks like a nice HB guide, I'll get one of those. Any details on what the 2 DLC's will be?
Oh just a snippet of info, Zachary Levi (from Chuck, Thor 2) did the 'final hours' documentaries for the new TR game and they are making him a playable character in the MP.
Thanks for the tip on the guide, preordered through bookdepository.co.uk. $26 incl free shipping to Australia.
does bookdepository charges upfront for preorder? That guide looks great
Doesn't really bother me when it's so close to release date, at least it'd be one less thing to worry about paying for.
You can also pre-order the strategy guide at Amazon.co.uk (which is cheaper)

So if I only want to buy it once, the best place is from amazon because it comes with the art book and I get the north American stuff?
The US-Collector's Edition comes with a lithograph and does not include the "Final Hours Edition"
So you have to buy at least two editions if you want the artbook and the lithograph.
