With our sound system, it's just like going to the cinema - except we can
pause to get more popcorn. And don't have the crying babies that some
parents bring with because they can't get a sitter.
Oh, and our floor isn't sticky. :-)
On the downside, had to replace the bulb in the projector last weekend.
Had a spare on hand, but those bulbs are not cheap. :-/
But yeah, our PS3 is connected to it, so I end up playing the occasional
game on that screen. It's really nice - even my wife likes it, and she
initially thought the idea was ridiculous, but she now admits freely that
it was a good idea. :-)
