Amazon has sent out details of a Guitar Hero 5 pre-order campaign that bags you a free copy of World Tour if you pre-order.
An email telling us of the offer just popped into our inbox:
As someone who has shown an interest in Guitar Hero in the past, we thought you might be interested in getting a free copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Game Only) when you pre-order a Guitar Hero 5 Guitar Bundle on the same console.

But, i've already got GH:WT... Why would I want it again? If anything it just means the resale price for WT will go down, as people won't want 2 copys...
Lot of World Tour stock not shifting eh Activision? It's a fairly generous pre-order bonus to be fair, but most GH fans will already have it, and giving it away will just throw light on the fact that there's not a great deal of difference between these two "sequels."
What a bad deal, lets face it, most people who are getting GH5 have GHWT. Not only that but to do the deal you have to get the guitar bundle, surely people have enough plastic guitars by now.
Don't they get GH: Van Halen in the USA when they pre-order GH5? That's sounds the better deal to me. The people going to buy GH5 will almost certainly have GH:WT already.
You only get WT free with the guitar bundle of GH5. If you already have WT then you already have a guitar, so you probably don't want the guitar bundle - if you get it just so you get WT free to resell it, it'll cost you £30 more than the game only version. Will you get £30 reselling WT? Not bloody likely.
We're moaning because getting Van Halen free is a much better deal, but only the Americans get it.
