Airblade for PlayStation 2 also has some extra "DVD-style" features. One
that stands out in my mind was a rather interesting "Making of" featurette,
similar to what you find on many DVD movies.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for PlayStation 2 includes a playable demo of Shaun
Palmer's Pro Snowboarder.

Some of the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games for the PlayStation
had crossover demos (meaning that the Crash game had a demo for a Spyro game
that was released about the same time, and vice versa). These games were on
CD, so you don't need a DVD to do this stuff!
