Let’s face it, if the PlayStation 3 ships without any kind of demo disc, there’ll be uproar. Given Sony’s record with bundled console/disc packages at the PlayStation and PS2’s respective launches (dinosaurs and bathroom sinks, remember?) don’t expect to be able to play a one level demo of Resistance or Genji 2 or Warhawk.
Anyway, never mind the games – the rumour mill creaks into gear today with much Internet discussion regarding the possible inclusion of a Blu-ray demo disc designed to erm, demonstrate how lush films can look given the high-def treatment. Marvel at the shape and shine of Kate Beckinsale’s leather-clad arse in Underworld Evolution? Don’t mind if we do. Marvel at the shape – just the shape - of Natasha Henstridge in Species? Oh, alright then. ?HD in Memento in on going what’s out work and try. Well very.
These and more – Basic Instinct 2, xXx, RV, Training Day, Hitch, Resident Evil Apocalypse, Black Hawk Down, Layer Cake and Saw to name a few – could well be available to sample with the PS3 launch. Then again, maybe not.

Perhaps MS and Nintendo should take note on this idea. I was disappointed, when I purchased my GC and 360, to not have anything out of the box to test.

What would be the best demo disc would be GT HD Classic (e.g. the game engine and a few cars and a track). It'd show everyone what the machines capable of (specifically 1080p) and provide a nice little turn over from people who just want to download specific cars and tracks.
Ain;t gonna happen though.

Wont happen because, as hollywooda once posted, not everyone will be online. I would say that the majority of PS3 owners will not be online.
