After the earlier helping of Tekken 6 screenshots, here's some more good news from Namco Bandai. They've finally given out official release dates for the game's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions along with details on some pre-order goodies.

First, the release. The home console versions of Tekken 6 will be in stores in North America on October 27, 2009. Releases in Europe, Japan, and the rest of Asia will follow in close proximity. The PSP version, on the other hand, wasn't included in the release announcement.

On to the pre-order goodies, of which there are actually two. The first pack, which will be available from "participating retailers",  is a US$ 149.99 bundle that includes a Hori wireless fight stick as well as a Tekken 6 art book. This'll be available for both home console versions.

The second pack is a GameStop exclusive, but you don't have to pay extra for this one. This pack includes the Cardboard Tube Samurai costume we saw a couple of days back. As it turns out, that costume's for Yoshimitsu.

The GameStop exclusive bundle also comes with limited-edition Samurai Battle Banners that can be applied to all of the game's characters and a Tekken 6 2009-2010 calendar.
