This is actually an interesting idea and not necessarily bad for the experience. If a place had certain demographics Sony or Microsoft could offer a free new console around/before release. Special feature for host to offer, bonus for guest, seems like a solid path to a sale for the company. It seems that could possibly work for other things too, and it'd surely be more interesting to advertisers than a typical hotel.
I guess the big thing is visitors probably aren't returning so local businesses aren't going to get much success- but I can see interesting opportunities for less location constrained companies. What if Netflix gave a free account to a chunk of places with certain demographics?
