Playing Halo On A Humungous TV

Halo 3 to be precise and on a TV bigger than your house. That's got to be worth a look.

The screen at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium is big, and I don't mean 50" big, I mean over eleven thousand square feet big. The screen measures 72' x 160', which is around 176' on the diagonal or 2100" if you prefer, and made up of thousands of LEDs. So what do you think the best use for a TV the size of four tennis courts is?

That's right, videogames. Specifically Halo 3 and Gears of War 2.

What's odd about this story though isn't the fact that someone played games on that monstrous screen, it's who played them. Something like this you'd expect to come from some gaming website or a Texas based developer trying to drum up some publicity. It's certainly not something you'd expect from the director of Jonas Brothers videos. Steve Fantone took a little time away from concert preparations to get some giant gaming done, and even to make a the above YouTube video.

Just goes to show, anyone could be a gamer these days.

This is something I want, providing I demolish my entire street to make room for it.

If only it was cool and useful. And maybe a game with controversial design.

Sacrifices must be made.

(along with a master chief suit and G-man alarm clock (time to get up..........doctor Freeman.....time to get up...and....make some coffeeeee))

Id like me one of those,especialy for multiplayer so people can see my epeen and skillz from a mile away XD

It's just like I said - everyone plays Halo/Gears.
Even people who direct videos for Satan.

If it were a chair, it'd be impractical. If it were a phone, it'd be impractical. But this is just...awesome.

I, for one, welcome street-sized armchairs.

When did people start directing videos for you Maxi?
Wait, why did I re-open this kill zone >.>

bring me the soul of an innocent for each inch and ye shall recieve your prize in 10 to 12 working days.

I'd be much more impressed if they were playing the original Super Mario Bros.

Sorry, I meant Satan's pre-teen girl recruiters.

MaxTheReaper:

That makes a bit more sense really. But still getting Satan confused with his pre-teen girl recruiters is shocking Max.

I wasn't confused, I just didn't want to type all that out.

Also that is a ridiculously large screen.
Seriously.

Aha, but then you had to type all of that out again after it >.> and yeah but it would kick ass to own such a screen.

I literally just stumbled upon this and was going to read it but decided to look at this post first. That is an awesome thing, just hope you don't make a mistake (or else everyone will see it and you'll be embarrassed).

I hoped nobody would question it.

True, I didn't question it though, I was just calling you Satan at first :)

MS should leap on this for advertising -
THIS is how good our wireless 360 controllers are!

Play from the other side of the football stadium.

Damn! Tha's sweet!

Good to see that TV used for videogames, now if they would only play good videogames on it then it would perfect

I'd love to someone chainsaw a locust in Gears 2 on this screen...

Dude, when I'm a billionaire, I'm going to buy a city block and build my own TV even bigger than that.

Ugh. What do you need a screen the size of four tennis courts for!? I can see one or two... but come ON! Oh well, it's not my money being wasted.

I want one!! :(

Wow. Im gonna point out the very obvious.
That is one HELLUVABIGTELEVISION!.

That looks so awesome!

Though Halo isn't my thing...

Can I sell my own soul? :D

I want one.

Awesome, I think that would just fit in the field by my house...
Now I just need to steal all of Bill Gate's money to pay for the construction of the screen, Best part of it is, my bedroom window overlooks that field, so I could lay in bed and play on it :)

A guy can dream can't he?

1. You know when you play a game and the light from the sun comes through, making the screen look darker? your going to have THAT problem.

2. Plus, why Halo? Seriously you want to play a good game on it, [Prototype], Red faction, inFamous, Valkyria Chronicles, and before the other PS3 fanboys say anything, NOT Killzone 2.

0.o?!?! What a waste of a good 72' x 160' tv...

...It would be of much more use at my house(Hint, hint.)
