What's a "strom" cable?
Sadly, the inclusion of a playable demo disc seems to be a thing of the past.
Not even the PS2 package had one, although you could have one for free when you registered your PS2 at Sony's PlayStation website. Hopefully there'll be a playable demo disc included when the PS3 will be released in EU.

Are you sure the PS2 package didnt have one? Mine had when I bought it in 2002. Only the PStwo/PS2 slim didnt have a demodisc as far as I know
Indeed I hope they include a demo disc
I don't think they'd include a demo disk mainly because they want to encourage people to get their PS3 online and able to DOWNLOAD the demos. (Among other things they'd actually pay for. ) They have to put them hard drives to use, after all.
And my mighty powers of "process of elimination" make me assume "stromkabel" is for that whole "power" thing. That's not wireless yet.

Yes, I'm sure it didn't have one. I bought it in December 2000 when it was launched in EU.

Well, it seems obvious now.

Why include a demo disc when you can just put such stuff on the HD?
Thats very weird. Because it also goes against the fact that Sony shipped the PS2 with a version of Basic to sell it as a computer system and avoid taxes. I have that demo disc right here with me.
Very strange
Makes sense, 360 did something like that with pre-installed software or music IIRC. or you could just download demo's online (hopefully avail. on launch day).
"Stromkabel" is the power cable.

I had to check, and it appears I was wrong after all. It did come with a demo disc featuring playable demos of SSX and Wild Wild Racing, and YaBasic. How embarassing.
Embarassing that you forgot, or embarassing that Sony included YaBasic?

Hey, don't diss Yabasic, it was fun! I even wrote a now worldfamous website for it!
I mean, you all have this website in your favorites, right?

so component av cables are in, right?
You think you had it tough?!
I bought a PS2 for 3000 finnish marks in launch, thats around +500€. Had no money left for games so all I could play was the SSX demo, over and over and over again! The demo was quite sweet though so it was alright.
