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.

Yeah there's an abundance of Lili's and Devil Jin's.
I play mostly Heihachi or Lee. Not many people play as Lee so they can only look in bewilderment as I unleash my avalanche of super-flip-flops, backflips to c'mon stance and tsunami flying kick combo's. Moahahahah!

Yeah Lee is tough to beat! So many characters to learn in T6. It's going to be hard to find time to learn them all. That girl i think is Boskonovic's "Daughter". I guess he's too busy in the lab to get busy with the ladies

I literally was able to finally obtain a TE SF4 stick like 2 weeks ago.
Then, I saw this announcement and was like, "Fucking shit. I knew this would happen to me."
Then I saw that it would contain HORI parts and was relieved.

Hori parts confirmed?
At this price I would think that at least the stick would be Sanwa JLF.

It actually says "HORI" on the bottom right corner of the arcade stick. A bigger version of the above image can be found here:

I know that the controller is made by Hori, I was wondering if they were using Hori butons and sticks.
Sometimes Hori will use Sanwa or Semitsu parts inside it's sticks.

I'm gonna get downvoted for saying this but...
Why do people spend money on things like this? People whine about the economy and how they can't buy a PS3... And then they go and buy a controller they DON'T need (why not use a regular controller?) to play a fighting game in the most archaic way possible? It just doesn't make sense.

It's because people generally agree that the D-pad on the standard 360 controller sucks.
With an arcade stick, inputting commands becomes easier; after mastering how to use a stick, of course.
I assume that people who buy arcade sticks either:
A) Want that arcade-y feel at the comfort of their own home
or
B) Want more precise control in fighting games.

Does anyone know if the Hori wireless PS3 arcade stick can be used in Vista 64-bit version with generic bluetooth drivers? I have the Xbox 360 wireless addapter but I don't have a 360 while a friend of mine has a PS3. I need a stick for my PC and it would be nice to get one that I could also use at my friends house.
