I'm not sure this warrants it's own thread but I have in my hand, a genuine PS3 Blu Ray demo disk. It's definitely a first.

This was one of my ten reasons why PS3 would be great, every month you'd get 25GB of movies and demos through the mail. 25GB of interviews, 1080p movies, pop videos, free sample anime. It's quite nice to see this partially true.

It's a real 25GB BD, it's not a DVD. Comes with 4 demos, all of which you've played but if nothing else I can delete them off my HDD now, and it's a fine start.

Added to the precious collection of PS1/PS2 demo disks that stretch all the way across my games room.

Good stuff, I think these demo disks are going to get much much better. And since everyone in NZ is on a 5GB quota and can't download 25GB a month, essential!

And just like the games it's region free, running it on my fancy pants US PS3.

Demo disks just can't be beat, it's a living playable history of video games going back to 1996. Rather pleased with this.

That's actually pretty cool. I like having them on the harddrive and all, it's just it would be nice to have the option to save HDD space.

Breathe in the nostalgia lads.

I've got older PS1 demo disks than that but that one has the original PS1 tech demos on it. Actually the V-CD one still looks pretty good today.

But on mine isnt the F1 demo. Maybe it wasnt on the german version?
The funny thing is its mentioned on the cover like on yours but not on the disc lol.

The dino and manta tech demos look like absolute hell compared to even the launch PS1 games.

Still, impressive if you're used to Sega Genesis.
