Well over in the UK HALO has that. We got video of lots of games on the HALO DVD that is slectable from the main menu. Like i can watch videos of PGR and i think Amped and that raly game but im sure they are all microsoft games. They are also all video BUT they do all seem to say video only not playable demo. So if they seem to point out its not playable then maybe in a while we might get both video and playable demos from the main Screen!!!
