InFocus just released this Play Big IN1 Gaming projector, which is remarkable for its lowish-rez 640 by 480 pixel count, $549 price point, yet decent 1500:1 contrast ratio and awesome capability to flip images from wall to ceiling by means of a mirror.

To me, that last feature says that gaming is sooooo hard sitting on your couch, you'd better lie flat on your back, brain settling into the back of your skull while thumbing a joypad. DLP, takes up to 1080i signals via component (before squishing them to the afore-mentioned VGA), there's no zoom, and the max image size is 8 feet diagonally. Good for the kids, but not quite powerful enough for the high-def gamers. [Infocus]
