Nice. I put this on my Christmas list, and I know damned well that no one is going to buy it for me. So I'm playing Santa today and ordering this for myself.
You can nab either the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of this bundle, which contains the game, Tekken 6, a fancypants art book, and the limited edition wireless fight stick, crafted by Hori. This bundle is normally about $150, but Amazon has it on sale for $77.99. To put this in perspective, know that the game itself is $59.99. You're getting the stick for almost nothing!
If your family sucks at gifts like mine does, get yourself a nice present for a nice price.
[thanks, Ian]

@DGX the sticks is ok, nothing special, it's a little bit light for me. It's definitely more of a mid-tier pricing stick, as expected. The wireless however is nice, but it's still USB. I want a true blue tooth stick!
The regular edition of the SF4 stick seems to be decent and only around $40 and that's what I'm considering, especially since I have that game.
I'm not sure if I would jump on this deal or not. I would get a game out of it, true, but it's hard to say if I'd really play it or get enough trade credit back to really compare it to getting the Street Fighter one.
I really suck at directional moves so I'm being hyper picky for something with a good stick. It's only made worse because I've never used one.
I'm sad face :(
USB dongle connection
Takes AAA batteries
No way to connect wired
Hard to mod and not a lot of room in the chasis (so I've heard, never tried)
REALLY light weight (it reminds me almost of a frisbee)
Bigger than an EX2 but much smaller than a Madcatz TE
100% plastic construction (even balltop is entirely plastic)
Stiff stick, mushy buttons
Personally I prefer the stick itself to my EX2 and TE. I guess I perform moves better with a stiffer stick since I have a tendency to flail around in the midst of battle (lol). The buttons though are very cheap feeling and mushy but otherwise perform well.
I may see if I can bring this back tomorrow morning and just order it off Amazon.
Yay for getting better paying jobs in time for the holidays!
$80 for a new game w/fight stick and art book is a good deal though.
I do recommend, however, immediately throwing away the cheap "Rocket" brand Chinese AA batteries that come with it. Mine leaked electrolyte in the controller and it burned my hands when I opened the battery cover.
uh oh I still have the Rocket batteries in my controller.
Square gate :(
I got it for $60 from amazon, stick is working well for me, although i'm still getting used to it
