Tekken 6 Limited Edition bundle - US only?

Leprekaun

Hey lads! I was just having a look through the articles on SRK and came across a great article that exclusively, GameStop are offering a Tekken 6 bundle which comes with the game, limited edition fightstick and an art book.

Brilliant thing is, they said it would cost $150 which I believe would equate to around €80 so pretty good considering a stick is included so I wanted to ask, is this exclusive to US only or will this bundle be coming to Europe?

If it isn't coming to Europe, something I wanted to know is would the stick work with a PAL PS3? I know games are region free but not sure about the sticks.

Yes, that is what it equates to when using a currency converter.

But companies don't use that.
They use the "TeeHeeHee, I can mark this up ludicrously and then just blame the economy, TeeHeeHee" converter. Which means it will probably cost about 140 euro.

If that happens, I'll bitch slap GameStop and then for more pain, I'll get Dreddybajs's Zangief to bitch slap them too.

That's IF this comes to Europe; as while this showed up in Gamestop US databases immediately, when I went to an Irish one they hadn't a clue what this thing is.

Oh well. Who's up for sticks with modded Sixaxis controllers? :pac:

Haha! Yeah, these kind of offers don't seem to come to Europe much, and even if they did, the price would definitely be jacked up - that's the sad reality of it.

Yeah, I was just curious to see how much the TE fightstick and $150!? I mean, €80 isn't little but considering that it its £150 here, thats just sick.

Just out of curiousity though, are gaming peripherals region free too?

Hmmm... Maybe I'll move to the US in the long run :P

Gaming peripherals are (almost always) region free, and Amazon seem to have TEs at £100 right now. Get one, quick!

A bit gutted, but not surprised at, the price hike of the Tekken 6 LE. Some tournaments only allow wired sticks plus that T6 stick doesnt look at good as the SFIV TE.

It's Play.com, you shouldn't be surprised at the massive pricehike <__<

:rolleyes:

Amazon hiked the price of the HRAP EX up as well. Bought mine from Japan for £80, and last I checked I think it was £120 they were selling it for. Pretty harsh.

*edit* Play.com have the SFIV TEs for £100 too, ordered one for a friend.

See, sad thing is that the HRAP/HRAP EX is now WORSE value than the MCTE, on account of having a lower feature set & quality.
All it has now is a Sega Blast City layout.

Only worse value from Amazon :P All the features it does not have are very minor; lead storage and pause lock. A further £11 sorts out some sanwa buttons. I'd be changing the stick on a TE anyway as I prefer Seimitsu sticks. But with the TEs down to £100 being all Sanwa straight out of the box, thats too good for anyone who doesnt already own a quality stick. Its hardly a sad thing I don't quite get you.

*edit*
To keep this on topic (as opposed to a stick value debate lol) I think I will be giving the LE of Tekken 6 a miss. Too much of a price hike for a stick I don't need.

Well, the reason why I'm intrigued by the offer is firstly, if it would cost €80, it would be well worth it as I don't have a stick and secondly, I'm intent on getting a US import of Blazblue so I'd like to use a stick for that too. Obviously, there would be a lot of speculation about the price (cheap stick) but it is a Hori and they do have a good name in the market so thats why I wouldn't be worried about the price.

Tbh though, I'd prefer if I could get it for €60. That little book with softcore hentai on the front isn't my cup of tea. Now, replace that with a copy of Playboy and I'll pay gladly :P

I thought you were an xbox player Leprekaun?

Xbox Blazblue isn't region-free.

Well, something I was hoping of doing is since they may not ship it outside of the US, I'm thinking of joining a courier service called Aramex. Basically, they set up a mailbox in the US or UK for you so that you can buy something off the net, have it sent to your mailbox then the courier will post whatever you bought to you so its a pretty cool system for buying stuff that can't be normally shipped to Ireland.

Something which I'm concerned about though is that they forward the junk mail because they keep clearing the mailbox so they'd keep charging for shipping that. I guess the only way to resolve that would be to just discuss it with Aramex.
