Default [CBC]Renting a Theater...To Gamers
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/20...x.html?ref=rss

Quote:
Cineplex Entertainment is renting out downtime at its theatres to video gamers looking to play their Xbox 360 titles on a giant screen.

Beginning on Friday, gamers will be able to book two-hour sessions at 29 Cineplex theatres across the country for $179 plus taxes. Up to 12 people will be allowed into the session to play their own games, or those from a supplied library, on the theatre's giant screen with surround sound. The Xbox 360, however, can only accommodate four players at a time.
Big Master Chief.

I've always thought that would be a cool idea.

if it catches on it would be a good boost to the theater business, and who hasn't thought of doing this?

You are the price of pessimism and nonchalance.

Yes having a 10'-20' screen with cinema quality projector plugged into ANY consol or gaming apparatus is extraordinary.
