EA mauls Dante's book

Dante's Inferno the 'grandchild' of LOTR: Return Of The King

PS3 played on the side of a pub!

Tuesday 12-Jan-2010 1:10 PM Viral video shows 'extreme' gaming as man projects NFS onto giant surfaces

19 Comments

Thought 'overhead' projectors were all about boring science lessons? Think again: A new online viral video shows they comes in very handy for 'extreme' gaming.

The vid features a man with an Epson HD-ready projector strapped to his back.

The game-for-a-laugh star then walks around London playing Need For Speed on his PS3 - projected onto buildings, roads and public houses in front of an amazed/bemused public.

It's pretty darn smile-inducing stuff - see below for the proof.

if it was 360, the disc would probably have been scratched useless. Razz

only possible on a ps3

It's the only console you'd want on full display while you stand outside a pub with no risk of it getting stolen.

BAM!

Class.

although a joke, you do realise it was a stupid one i hope. what thief would bypass the most expensive console?!

people steal valuable stuff. that rules the 360 out...

(justified) BAM!

Yes, it was a joke to mock another bad post. Of course it would get stolen, everyone's after bluray these days.

... or just a decent console Surprised

it would be good if you could hang your ps3 on the wall, like plasma TVs.

convenient and smart. could no-more-nails it.

My friend's housemate had a projector, we used to set it up in his garden with my wii and project Tiger Woods on it.

Twas rather like playing on those fake driving ranges where you whack the ball into the image of a fairway.

Definitely the best way to play a golf game.

He probably tried to take it inside but when the owners saw it was a PS3 they wouldn't let him in. Laughing

Seriously though, does anyone else think he looks like a Ghostbuster?

It's not the prettiest solution but it works for me.

have that beast on display.

svd_grasshopper on 12 Jan '10

that was awesome only possible on ps3 it only does everything

warhugger on 12 Jan '10

I hope he attempts the same things with a 360 just to see if it holds up. Just to wipe the smile off the spotty little fanboys faces. Laughing

gogo65uk on 12 Jan '10

Oh yeah power brick plan foiled already Laughing

gogo65uk on 12 Jan '10

At least playing it outside would keep a 360 nice and cool!

ricflair on 12 Jan '10

How'd he carry Xbox 360 with huge power brick?

Probably is the main reason why he chose PS3.

wildhook2 on 12 Jan '10

wat a p tool

Hmm, that's a good point actually.

Though I'm sure it'd be possible on other consoles too, such as a Wii. Though the image probably wouldn't look so good that stretched.

Portable PC though anyone? Very Happy
