    Haha, I'm diggin' the kick-to-tilt mechanism.

    Also, if more architecture were decorated with multi-story video games, that would make the world just a teensy bit too Tokyo for local tastes. Wouldn't want to step on Tokyo's toes, anyway. #pinwall

    ok, so yeah, this is just ridiculous levels of awesomeness. I want to do this to my house. I want to do this to my parents house. I want to do this to a local funeral home where the people in the game are zombies. I can't think of a single structure that wouldn't be improved with this treatement.

    Hell I work in Manhattan in a 32 story building - you turn that into a level of Kid Icarus and I'll REALLY be impressed. #pinwall

    The only thing this needs is a demo video set to ethereal techno music in dim lighting. *Then* we'll start seeing this in devices the world over.

    Not a moment before.

    This is great, Nikon. How about forgoing the useless gadgets and producing a P&S that isn't useless over ISO 200?

    What does "surprisingly bright" mean in lumens, or failing that, real world performance?

    720p for a projector? Bah. If you're projecting 100" or more, as you'll want to do, you really should go with 1080p.

    A somewhat low purchase price is all fine and dandy, but until the replacement bulb doesn't cost a sizable fraction of the projector itself, NO DICE!

    @Tony C: Ironically, that may very well happen if more folks buy projectors. Specialty bulbs come at specialty prices. If they become more commonplace, though, prices may drop.

    Meanwhile, you've got the potential for over a hundred inches of screen for under a thousand bucks. Even including the costs of the bulbs, you're still making out a pretty sweet deal.

    For my part? Dice.

    @OCEntertainment: Agreed. I love my Panny projector. A real home theater experience. When the bulb goes, I'll just deal with replacing it then.

    I guess I'm not yet convinced the picture quality is that much better than a normal TV or what the benefits are.

    @Brendanec: The biggest advantage I get from having a projector is size. I managed to get a 100" screen in my basement for about $750 after rebate (HC1600: [www.newegg.com] currently cheaper than that). I could spend twice that much money on a unit half the size in plasma/LED/etc.

    The quality depends on where and how you set it up. Not all screens are equal. I lucked into getting a proper projection screen for free from a friend. There are either paints or fabrics you can get that help you get the most out of your pixels. Also, being in a darkened room helps. Admittedly, projectors don't do so hot in well-lit rooms. Also, there is a bigger know-how requirement for setting it up. But in the end, it's very worth it.

    Each method has its advantages, but supposing you have the space and the patience for it, you can get an impressive home theater setup from a projector for much less than a plasma.

    Yeah, uhm, still gonna wait for the 1080p to get a little better in quality below the $1000 mark before I pull the trigger I think.

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I think there's a new Epson that's coming out close to this price point.

    I thought this model was capable of 600x800 via RGB? Or was that just an input compatibility rather than an output spec?
