Some video game reviewer in Japan took a PS3 home and hooked it up to a projector which projects onto a 200" screen using a $1,200 HDMI cable and played Ridge Racer 7. Click here for the article (http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/ps3-at-200-inches-with-thousand-dollar-cable-229880.php)

Thats scary...

lol those cables cost more than mine! Thats just ridiculous... But I bet they were monsters (the brand, well the cable too). I have some video monster cables, cost a bundle just for like what? 4 feet? ><

I'll be impressed once someone shows off their 100' screen. lol IMAX and Xbox 360... crazy.

Already the picture is getting distorted on hte 200" screen the text is all messed up. On an imax screen it would look screwy.

that guy is sitting way to close anyways. the rule of thumb is to sit two times the screen size away from a tv to get a good picture. so you should be sitting... about 33 feet away from a 200 inch screen.

Projection screens are not the most photogenic, I think the distortion is probably the angle and the camera. If you look at THIS (http://arena.nikkeibp.co.jp/tokushu/gen/20070112/120506/04v.shtml)shot it doesn't look so bad...

Its true you should be farther away from the screen, but in this case I bet it really gives you the sensation of being part of the action!!
