And while the Aerosmith guitar hero pack is relatively easy, it's fun and they're making a damn killing from it. More power too them. Those guys are master marketers.

What strikes me about this is that I didn't find this game it to be all that impressive (and my friends who played it also found that the song selection left a lot to be desired). We all talked about other bands we'd like to see release GH versions (and we'd pay for them). If an unimpressive GH version from a band that doesn't necessarily speak to young GH players (compared to newer bands) can make that much money, just think about how successful other bands could be with this model.
