Giant Cowboys Stadium LED wall caught playing Xbox 360

engadget.com — The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it's showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it's been put to some real use: playing video games.

  • LeftsideChaos, on 06/20/2009, -4/+336Obviously the best possible application for it.
  • kwago, on 06/21/2009, -8/+216Hi-Def Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader porn would have been a better use
  • mark925, on 06/20/2009, -7/+169WANT.
  • wilf_brim, on 06/21/2009, -2/+161Now this would be a great way to debut a new FPS. Bungie should rent Cowboy stadium for the open of Halo:ODST.
  • pixelate, on 06/20/2009, -2/+153I'm sure Giant Cowboys Stadium LED had a good excuse.
  • audiooverflow, on 06/20/2009, -4/+153EPIC, indeed.
  • bossm4n, on 06/21/2009, -3/+119Play GoW on largest display in the world or work on Jonas Brothers concert prep? You chose wisely.
  • revwolfe, on 06/21/2009, -1/+96From the article's comments: "now if he were to play wii on it, would it be better to put the sensor bar above or below the screen?"
  • dafragsta, on 06/21/2009, -26/+105The Cowboys still suck.
  • TexMexRex, on 06/21/2009, -2/+47Why do these Giant Cowboys have thier own stadium??
  • LibertyPrime, on 06/21/2009, -3/+41Holy *****... Imagine playing COD4 or Half-Life 2 on that.
  • Rhythmismt, on 06/21/2009, -3/+36That picture is roughly pornographic anyway. Backwards-hat Halo fanboys everywhere just collectively came in their pants.
  • picosan, on 06/21/2009, -2/+35...wonder if they tried out a porn video...you know..for science.
  • Spandia, on 06/21/2009, -14/+44Well, we could also play good games on it.
  • KloroFormd, on 06/21/2009, -22/+51Buried for FPS games with a controller.
  • inactive, on 06/21/2009, -1/+28Veni
  • shauncullen, on 06/21/2009, -3/+29If I was rich like Bill Gates, I would have that screen as my main video game screen. I would then construct a giant chair made of that space foam stuff, and to play I would jump from my personal B3 chopper into my giant chair. That is how I would conduct my video game playing.
  • mediaphile, on 06/21/2009, -3/+28I see what you did there.
  • bobthegreat1224, on 06/21/2009, -2/+25If you mean that HL2 is overrated, please suggest for me a game that is more deserving of the praise. I would like very much to experience such a thing.
  • carbonetc, on 06/21/2009, -1/+18I suppose if you visited the Pyramids one day you'd say, "Ehn, I thought they would be taller."
  • tursiops, on 06/20/2009, -2/+18Ok now make another screen like that and I'm sure people would pay to play on it!
  • inactive, on 06/21/2009, -0/+15i would not want to vidi that but your comment vici
  • Adrian540, on 06/21/2009, -3/+18Rockband on that sound system would be rather fun.
  • Cheesepuffly, on 06/21/2009, -13/+27I dont...
  • Filter, on 06/21/2009, -3/+15There has to be major lag on that screen.
  • Lynxist, on 06/20/2009, -6/+18Nice, definitely does want. Large format LED FTW!
  • GreenPuyo, on 06/21/2009, -1/+13Considering that the font sizes in modern video games are continually shrinking, the Cowboys' video board seems like it's the only thing that can actually make the text legibile .

    Then again, who reads anything while playing a video game?
  • LETHARGICpirate, on 06/21/2009, -0/+12That is the gamertag playing on the giant screen.

    And yes they do suck.
  • confoundedjoe, on 06/21/2009, -0/+11It probably wouldn't. Have you ever been in a stadium? The sheer size causes there to be a delay in sound and so you couldn't match up the sound to the screen.
  • rugabug, on 06/21/2009, -0/+11SF4?
    They should have played pong.
  • venom8599, on 06/21/2009, -1/+11Yeah, the distance makes up for the relatively low resolution. Kind of like a natural form of anti-aliasing.
  • Handonam, on 06/21/2009, -0/+10dugg for backwards-hat
  • eatinshramps, on 06/21/2009, -1/+11WASD.
  • Syugo, on 06/21/2009, -1/+10***** you. Half Life is awesome.
  • xptweakerntn, on 06/21/2009, -3/+12Ok, so I was thinking that the games were going to look horrible on this thing. But it turns out, because of the distance I suppose, that they look AMAZING!
  • inactive, on 06/21/2009, -0/+9You didn't exactly need to be a wise man to figure that one out
  • kjk437, on 06/21/2009, -0/+9Not him, *****, the guy in the pictures in the article.
  • pradaaddict, on 06/21/2009, -0/+9SoneAF1015 you are my hero
  • Spotacus, on 06/21/2009, -1/+10And it would have no chance of fitting in your living room since it would probably be bigger than your house.
  • robbob, on 06/21/2009, -0/+8Debbie does Dallas, chicka_waa
  • nerddtvg, on 06/21/2009, -1/+9How about Duke Nukem 3D?

  • pedepy, on 06/21/2009, -0/+5what would the big screen have anything to do with loud noise ?
  • phqu88, on 06/21/2009, -0/+5Thats why you would need an earpiece
  • wondertwins, on 06/21/2009, -0/+5not even a 10-year old girl would choose the latter.
