Dead Space Comes With Two Demos on the Disc

Eager horror fans who just picked up Dead Space will find a couple extra goodies of the non-scary variety when they pop the disc into their system. At least on the PS3 version, you get two Blu-ray disc icons under the Game XMB -- one for Dead Space of course, but surprisingly also one for EA Demos (as seen above).
Included on the disc are demos for Battlefield: Bad Company and Burnout: Paradise. One of the interesting parts of this is that they are install packages not ready-to-go demos. This means you can install them off the disc and play them regardless of whether Dead Space is in your PS3.
At this time it is unknown if the Xbox 360 version has the demos as well (they take up an additional 1.2GB of space), but this would be an interesting way to utilize the extra space that Blu-ray discs provide.

Great use of Blu-ray, something all publishers should consider doing with left over BD capacity.

edit: missed a pun opportunity. There's no dead space on that Blu-ray Disc!
