The only game I can think of that has what you're thinking of is SSX Tricky
(for PS2), which includes some interviews and videos.

I certainly wouldn't mind having demos made available on the DVD for other
games (some games already include a separate demo disc) that would be
accessible either through the game's main menu ("Extras").  I doubt that
most of the games coming on DVD really need the whole DVD.

Anyways, the included demos were always for games from the same publisher
for the same platform - for instance 'Zone Of Enders' included a demo disc
for 'Metal Gear Solid 2', which lead to jokes that ZOE would be a big seller
but only because of the demo...
