I don't anymore. But they're pretty nostalgic in my opinion. When I did, they were mainly for the PS2 that I got from different gaming-related magazines I think.

All regions of the original version of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening (in Europe I've read is a much harder game) came with a demo disc for Monster Hunter, I assume to spread awareness of this up-and-coming IP. Consisted of four quests and a hidden extra. I still have my copy to this day.

MH was already out in my region but if used, the save from the demo gave a few extra items for your playthrough. Plus it was a safe way for me to get my friends into the game without giving away my main copy.

*Side note to all those people I read "Capcom finally started giving free DLC with MH:W" Please! they've done Online Event content since the first game; that's 2004! And have done so with every instalment since_

I have a ton of ps1, ps2, Dreamcast and Xbox demo disc still. I used to always send in those warranty cards that older games came with and would get a lot of neat stuff because of it. Demo disc, vhs advertisements (which I got rid of sadly), paper advertisements, etc. I also used to get a lot of demo disc from magazines from the dreamcast and Xboxs official magazines.

Yeah I have a bunch of them. Mostly for the PS2 with a few Xbox ones. I got them from magazines from back in the day.

I used to collect the PS1 demo discs from magazines. Those were always a trip. I had most of them.

I wonder what happened to them..... At some point (probably between 2006 and 2010 when I was at college) I lost a ton of video game stuff and I have no idea how. Mihgt have rotted away in the attic or my parents threw them away. Who knows.

For the Saturn, I have SEGA Saturn Choice Cuts and Panzer Dragoon Playable Preview, both came with the system, plus SEGA Screams Volume 1 which was mailed to me as a bonus with Virtua Fighter Remix. For the Dreamcast, I have SEGA Dreamcast Generator Volume 1 which was also a pack-in. The only other non-pc game demo disc I recall having is a copy of Darkwatch for the Xbox that came with a magazine I randomly picked up at the grocery store.

I used to have loads of demo discs from Playstation 1 and 2 magazines. A lot of of them were binned in the end. Now I only have the PS1 demo disc that came with the console, and maybe one or two demo discs from PlayStation magazines.

Unfortunately, all my demo discs got filed in the garbage with my old NES cartridges.

I wish I could see the cc3 demo disk. It would be funny. But I've lost them all through time.

A physical diskette or CD that is used to help demonstrate the service, program software, utility software, or software game. A demo disc or demo disks offer a free or inexpensive way for users to try a program before purchasing or register.

@davillain-: I got the original GoW demo disc in the mail (Sony used to send me all kinds of interesting stuff back then) and it blew me away and made me a huge fan of the game and eventual series. The first boss fight was so amazing it will forever be fried into my brain.

No. I think I found some old PC Gamer ones in my last move but ditched them. Definitely a nostalgia thing, but I don't need the clutter and it's not exactly a display-case item for me
