Tomb Raider's Collector's Edition Controller Comes Pre-Distressed

As we've seen in trailers going back to E3, Lara Croft gets the crap beat out of her trying to escape from the bandits' camp in the Tomb Raider reboot, though to be fair, she gives as good as she gets. That must have been on the mind of whoever came up with this design for a Tomb Raider special edition controller, because it looks worn the hell out.

This design was achieved with "a two-layer color finish with laser etching," and when it zooms up on the cuts crisscrossing the fingerprint pattern, it looks like Lara grabbed a palmfull of briar vines to swing across the chasm. Supposedly this represents the worn character of her trusty ice axe.

The controller is $59.99 and comes with a download code for an exclusive character playable in multiplayer. It'll be on shelves when the game arrives March 5.
