Tomb Raider III Goes Gold

Eidos Interactive says Tomb Raider III for the PlayStation went gold today and will be in stores next weekend. The announcement comes along with some additional good news. If you preorder TRIII today at select retailers, you'll gain some cool swag. Here's a listing of what each retailer will be offering with your preorder

Electronics Boutique is offering a free T-shirt and a demo CD.

Babbage's is offering a free T-shirt, Lara Croft stickers, and a life-sized Lara Croft cutout giveaway.

Funco will make preorder gamers official members of Lara Croft's Tomb Raider III Expedition Team (after a US$10 deposit), and the first 5000 gamers get a T-shirt, a membership card, and a membership poster. If you order online from Babbage's you'll get the T-shirt and the membership card when you purchase the title.
