Seeing as the PS2 games are DVD, maybe it would be a great idea for them to DVD extras like the films have.
You could have things like interviews with the creator of the game for big titles such as MGS2. Or if its a sports game like a Fifa game, you could have footage of players doing the motion capture stuff, etc.
Maybe even the adverts and trailors that were used at shows such as E3. I'm sure most of us have seen footage of MGS2 on videos or PS2 demos, so maybe these things could be added to the actual games as an option if the player wishes to watch it.

Er, sorry but i've never seen a DVD's extras ever effect the film on it. At the end of the day, when a company feels its game is finished, its finished. These extras would probably take up very little space and would be nice to have if your interested - just like the films currently have, not everyone is bothered, but they're there for the people that are.
So you'd actually get more for your £40. And if I'm about to get some sorta comment like "fill the whole disk up with game" then they could add an extra disk in with these extras on them. Cause if magazines can afford to throw in demo's on PS2 mags, I'm sure companies can afford to do this with extras. Plus some games have more than 1 disk anyway, but are still the same price as a 1 disk game.

No that would be a waste of space, in my opinion.
What the extra storage capacity of a DVD should be used for is making the game as good as possible, so that's plenty of different playmodes, including a decent multiplayer. Excellent, but appropriate cut-scenes, that aren't too long, and skip-able. A really impressive and rewarding ending.
I'd feel ripped off if I payed £40 for a game, and the DVD was half full of interview and stuff!

Er.....they do that i must think on the PS1 version, we don't need real footage anyway.
