Are the Live DVDs installable to the hard disk?  If so, then I think 
they should definitely be included.   Even if not, I think they should 
be included.  Not everyone is going to be downloading the 3GB DVD image 
in order to get the DVD; people may be copying and/or sharing the DVD 
with friends, giving them away at conferences, etc.

+1 for including autodownloader games.
