If I go to try out systems at Be$tBuy, and I want to play games to test
the video cards, I can't play the autodownload games because there's not
net connection. So why bother?
We could bother because there are other instances where it is useful and
I did give one example of that above. For testing the video card there
are several other games available in the spin.
