Text on video adventure games: the following are described as currently booming gaming formats:
"Web browser, Facebook, Consoles en dématérialisées (PSN, Xbox Live) et Web TV".
I have seen "dématérialisé" used in terms of "paperless" procedures. What does it mean here? "Virtual", perhaps?

Downloadable games
J'ai l'impression que le terme d'origine (consoles en dématérialisées) n'est probablement pas adéquat. Comme le texte fait référence à Xbox Live et PSN, je crois qu'on parle de jeux qu'on peut télécharger. Sur le réseau Xbox Live, il y a des milliers de jeux qu'on peut télécharger (Xbox Arcade) qui ne sont pas disponible en magasin sous forme de disques. D'après moi c'est de là que vient l'expression dématérialisée.

Downloadable game content serait aussi une possibilité
