Jampack

Jampack is a demo series from Sony under its PlayStation Underground brand (although the "Underground" name wasn't used on the first two Jampack discs, simply titled Vol. 1 and Vol. 2). It was used to advertise and preview upcoming, as well as already released PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games[1] through demos and featurettes. Often, it also included imported game demos, behind-the-scenes videos on developers and games, as well as cheat codes and saved games. The Jampacks often served as a preview for the PlayStation Underground digital magazine[2] and later online Ezine, and was sold for $4.99 each.

The series has previewed many popular games from the PS2's lifespan, ranging from SSX Tricky and Final Fantasy X to Need for Speed Underground and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

Many of the later PS2 Jampack volumes were issued with the option of a counterpart that removes or replaces any demos for Mature-rated and some Teen-rated games, essentially serving as a clean version of the compilations.

gollark: I ran into some issues and now I'm seriously thinking about rewriting the potatOS sandboxing stuff.
gollark: I guess it doesn't matter much for my security model as it's only verifying signatures, but hmm.
gollark: Hmm, the existing ECC stuff which exists *isn't* constant-time? I suppose it does seem to have a decent amount of conditionals in it.
