The only thing I don't understand is why you're so offended at people calling Ground Zeroes a demo. If you enjoy it then who cares?

It's a proportion thing. Even at $20 for an Imax movie you are getting to see the complete motion picture that cost more to make than most games. The Blu ray comparison doesn't work because you can't buy that for months after the movie release. You are paying essentially half of full game price for a demo that likely offers 5% of the gameplay of the final version. It's just really, really, poor value and taking advantage of fans of the series.
What's next being charged $5 to see a movie trailer? They are going to make a lot of money on this and that's fine but not from me on principal as I don't want this garbage to become common place amongst game makers.
