Deep discount on PS3 GHWT and GH:Aerosmith games

Hot on the heels of Killzone 2 failing to live up to sales expectation last month, RedOctane.com is now selling a game only two-pack of Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the low, low price of $29.99 with $6 shipping. Normally, you would take this deal and run to the hills, as it is that good. However, it begs the question of WHY Red Octane is directly selling off two of the last three Guitar Hero games as a two-pack at a massive discount? Well, the only reason anyone moves stuff at this big a discount is to clear inventory, and the most common reasons inventory needs cleared is that it either failed to sell or something is coming out to replace it and they need to old version to go away. Well, Guitar Hero: Metallica has been out now for a few weeks and there are no new GH games for the PS3 scheduled anytime soon  (the non-new new Guitar Hero: Smash Hits not withstanding), so draw your own conclusions, especially considering the source of the sale.... and the fact that the PS2 ($34.99), Wii and Xbox 360 ($39.99 each) are selling for more.
