Why are the 6200 and 6600 the same price?

So I wanna upgrade to a midrange card and have set my sights on the 6600 overclocked. But while doing a quick check on pricewatch.com, it shows the 6200's 256MB going for about the same price as the 6600's 256MB. I've looked at the specs and this just boggles my mind. Could someone enlighten me on this? Is there something special about the 6200 that I'm not aware of?
 
Yeah, I know 256MB is a waste and Turbocache isn't a plus. I already read up on it and it's only a feature for the stripped down 6200 to allow it to function "better" with less memory. And I stated 256MB because that's what pricewatch was quoting on the front video card page. I personally just want to get the most bang for the buck in the PCI-express area. So can someone tell me why one superior card is the same price as it's little sibling.
