I will never understand the 'demo after release' thing.

How can this help to increase the sales? I don't get it.

Cheaper than renting. It doesn't increase Week 1 sales, but if it plays well it can make buyers of those who don't religiously follow review scores.

I like how the dash text says "Buy your copy in September 2009". Wasn't September like, two months ago?

I liked the first one, so I'll probably give this a go.

Pre-release demos sometimes hurt sales. See Too Human.

I'd say "Too Human"s asanine control scheme killed it.. but I would just be splitting hairs.
