    including multiple non-interactive game demos

    Wow... I never thought a marketing drone would be able to come up with such a convoluted way of saying 'commercials'.

      I never thought a marketing drone would be able to come up with such a convoluted way of saying 'commercials'.

      I'm sure the same drone will see to it that the "fickle spinning disc of death" from the Japanese models will be renamed "unannounced projectile gaming episodes".
