I can't think of many games that do, I know rogue leader for GCN has voice 
and video commentary though.

Not yet thank god, man that's scary, imagine a day when you turn on your 
system, and have to wait for a comercial to end before you get to play your 
game.

No, that would be stupid, especially if the demo is playable, to port the 
physics and other things to make a demo work to the console, you may as 
well port the whole game. Also developers need licenses, and I don't think 
that Sony, Nintendo or MS would allow them to advertise for a competitor on 
their systems.
