If you happen to use the warranty in the 3 years at $300 per bulb it brings your cost down to $600 for the complete set up ;)
I dont game with a xbox360 but my regular xbox and if your not wanting jaggies you want to buy a composite cables and run it in progressive mode. The 360 should look a ton better then a regular xbox and you will be super happy with it.

Just go to hot deals and look up my H31 thread like I mentioned. That same place that sells the H31 is where you will get the good deal on the HD70 which is a 720P projector.

And going DLP or LCD I would do DLP if I had the choice. Much better picture with better contrast and deeper blacks. Down side is some people see a "rainbow" effect (google) but then with LCD, even on high dollar units, they dont always get the 3 lcd screens lined up right and can be off as little as 1 pixal to as much as 7. That to can be quite annoying when not lined up properly. So its all a give or take.

You mean component?

Yeah, which ever is the red, green, blue with red and white audio. Not feeling all that great and cant think straight atm.

I've played a bit of 360 on a 120" retractable screen (it was actually in Vincent D'Onofrio's Apartment :) ) and it was nothing but gorgeous. though i'm not sure of the projector specs, other than it was very, very large. I wanted to do some audio consulting for him though ;)
