If you haven't spent all your money buying Street Fighter IV controllers, Namco Bandai has a new arcade stick for you to invest in. The official Tekken 6 Wireless Fight Stick Bundle bundles the upcoming game with an art book and a wireless stick made by HORI. The set will be available at various nationwide retailers, and will cost $150 for either the PS3 or Xbox 360 version.
In addition to revealing the official arcade stick for the game, Namco Bandai also released 33 new screenshots of the game, showcasing some of the new characters featured in Tekken 6. Our favorite character? Well, there's that decapitated robot girl ...
Finally, official details of Penny Arcade's collaboration with Tekken 6 have been revealed. The "Samurai" Pack includes a playable Cardboard Tube Samurai skin for Yoshimitsu and 40 Samurai Battle Banners which can be used to customize the other characters in the game. The DLC pack will be available as a GameStop-exclusive pre-order bonus.

Totally my thoughts. I would love to have this. But $150 is steep for anyone but the hardcore fighting fan.

Good news and bad news.
Good news: It IS a Hori Fighting Stick. So $150 clams for that isn't entirely rediculous.
Bad news: Gamestop exclusive bullshit again.

I disagree completely. I know some lovers of fighting games like the arcade sticks much better than D-Pad/analog stick, but regardless of build quality, there is really no reason why such a controller should cost so much.
I really don't see what is going into an arcade stick that would make it cost upwards of three times as much as a Wiimote/360/Sixaxis controller.

Only the DLC is a GameStop exclusive. The Wireless Arcade Stick bundle should be available at most retailers which hopefully means Amazon.

Did I miss something?
This is tagged as xbox... the CTS announcement was tagged as xbox...
I thought Tekken was a Playstation exclusive? Did it somewhere get announced it was going both ways?
Also... booo to Gamestop exclusive things.

Welcome to about ten months ago. Tekken got announced for the 360 some time back.

It is the stick, art book, and GAME for $150, so that is a $80 stick, the same as the Standard street fighter one, If this is a easy mod stick, then swap out new parts for $40 and you got yourself a top quality stick. Anyway, I think it is good deal, but I got two SF4-TE:Fightsticks so I'm don't need it/can't afford it.

Clearly I'm a nerd with more money than sense. I just pre-ordered the fight-stick version. :|

Anyone want to buy a Hori HRAP EX with Sanwa buttons?
http://twitpic.com/22jgw
Yellow and red are Sanwas, the rest are Hori stock. Stick is Sanwa JLF.
Would like to fund this new, wireless stick. :)

And here's my Hori Fighting Stick with my HRAP3:

So I guess this is the same thing as the Fighting Stick with all Hori parts but wireless? Right?

I want that stick. I am hyped about Tekken on 360. Hoping the there will be enough people on LIVE to play. Soul Calibur 4 was a blast online. Would be awesome if it was PC like Street Fighter 4.

So does this have quality Semitsu or Sanwa parts?
If not, are the insides all quick connects so you can switch out the crappy Hori buttons and stick with a quickness?
Common Ground?

A hori stick at this price tag will more than likely have a Sanwa JFL joystick. But I think the price is high because of the stick being wireless.....something that I am too fond of. A wired arcade controller almost guarantee's no input lag...not so sure about a wireless one. Although the SFIV madcats fightpads didn't show signs of lag...provided that it was still able to function. Meh...but it is Hori, so I will keep my eyes on this. Its saddens me to see that they (hori) still keep the start and select bottons on the face of the contoller....maybe there is a kill switch.

That fight stick looks good even better and more unique than the actual game.I would buy it just for use of SF4 and Tekken 5.

I mean Ogre not True Ogre. He was in Tekken Tag as well.

Nice looking stick, but i really can't justify shelling out for it since i'm getting Tekken 6 on PS3 & PSP. The PS3 pad is perfect for Tekken anyway. Cardboard Samurai may make Yoshimitsu more popular! Yoshimitsu is my fave character (also in Soul Calibur), but i very rarely meet others when playing online. Most players seem to like Lili! ;0)
