I've got one, it's awesome, as long as you can darken the room a fair bit if you want to use it during the day.

You also need a decent screen (fixed is best) but you can use a wall.

If you have a proper Home theatre Set up then you will have an Amp in place and you will just connect the Wii to the amp. Otherwise the Projector has AV inputs but you may have problems getting the length you require if its roof mounted.

If you get one with 'lens shift' you can put it on a table to the side of the room and move the lens over so it's centered on the screen.

Use component inputs for best quality pic. You also have to remember that the globes wear out after about 3000 hours(on low bright ness mode), depending on how you use it & they cost from $500-$900+ to replace.

I'll take some pics & send you the specs on boxing day if you want?

Its funny, I actually posted a movie about this. Guys playing a Wii in an actual movie theatre. Check it out in the video section if interested.

WiiMan has got a got point about the globes, really the downside of projectors. But you would have to use the projector frequently to worry about changing them.
