Ruby Rom? What's the point?

[Rubycon]

This DVD was in a box of video cards I received. It appears to have demos. I like demos but they aren't on the disc! They are nothing more than downloads using bit torrent which is not possible with my connection! How nice!

Anyone else get this disc?

Err, so it's a "demo disc" loaded with torrents of the demos? Talk about lazy...

It's an actual pressed DVD from the manufacturer or a burned DVD?

It's a pressed DVD from AMD. Definitely not homebrew. It has a flash based installer and when you select a game it opens a program which used bit torrent protocol.

I guess hosting a bittorrent tracker is cheaper than mailing out a bunch of 10cent discs.

Except they already INCLUDED a 10 cent DVD...

Indeed
Maybe the thing is.... that all those demos wouldn't fit in one DVD.
So, they included the torrents to download.
