This has been a thing since before smartphones and the U2 stunt though. The PC manufacturers started doing it back in the early 2000s.

Didn't Windows put a Weezer video on there or am I remembering something wrong?

There were some videos on some of the installation CDs...that's all I remember. I don't think they were automatically installed on your hard drive, but I could be wrong.

Yeah Android manufacturers been doing this since its inception. I remember having to remove the Blockbuster app from my Droid X lol
