In the latest round of Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band, Activision announced that those pre-ordering Guitar Hero 5 will get the unreleased Guitar Hero: Van Halen game for free. Redeemed either online or by snail mail by October 31, those purchasing GH5 will get their copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen in the mail up to six weeks later.

Ready to double your Guitar Hero 5 pleasure?

So we're going to ask. Does Activision feel threatened by The Beatles: Rock Band, does Guitar Hero: Van Halen suck or is Activision hoping to increase the volume of Guitar Hero in homes during the same holiday season? Regardless, if you love Guitar Hero 5 and Van Halen, it's an awesome deal.

More details about the offer can be found on the Guitar Hero site.
