Bluetooth or not? Can't find any info about this. Would also like to know if it supports playing PS2 games as well.

It would be the same as the controllers, so yes it would be bluetooth. Since it's just like a controller, it should play on your BC fine like any PS3 controller.

I'm getting my game and controller for $75 from Amazon. Ha!

The reason I ask is because my SF4 joypad uses a USB dongle and 2.4Ghz Wireless. I'd rather have some confirmation that the wireless joystick with the Tekken 6 bundle is in fact bluetooth.

About time! What is the deal with these wired joysticks? That's why I didn't buy the SF4:TE stick. After I've gone wireless, I'm not going to go back.

I suppose that wired is a bit quicker for these twitchy fighting games, but I'm not a tournament player and just want something more like an arcade experience at home. I actually owned the SF4 stick for a couple of days, but I found that I didn't like wrapping up 10ft of USB cable every time I wanted to put the thing away. Also, it was not compatible with PS or PS2 games, which really devalued it for me quite a bit (would like to play some old fighters and things like Namco Museum or Capcom volume 1).

If this Tekken 6 stick is bluetooth wireless, then it should work with my PS and PS2 games, and there is the obvious advantage of it not having wires to deal with. I do wonder what type of battery this thing will use though.

It used to be like that, but the wireless is just as fast now.
