Xbox gamers can now book two-hour session at Cineplex theaters during times where the theaters are not in use for movies and play their games on the big screen. Each two hour session will run $179 and up to 12 people will be allowed in each session.
Players are allowed to bring their own games with them, or play from the library of games supplied by Cineplex. Cineplex’s VP of communications said “ It takes it to a whole new level when you see the game on a screen that’s more than 50 feet wide. Theaters will typically have somewhere between 12 and 24 hours of time available each week, typically in the morning hours. Some theaters may stay open later in the evening as well to accommodate groups.
The move to offer video games is the result of years of testing by Cineplex. The theatre chain has been holding one-off gaming sessions and special events in partnership with Microsoft for more than three years, Marshall said. The move also couldn’t have happened without new digital projectors that are capable of displaying games in high resolution.
“If they wanted to book a four-hour window, we could certainly go later in the evening,” Marshall said. “If the theatre manager has the staffing, they could go till two in the morning.”

Wow, that is pretty cool. You could have a really awesome party. I can’t imagine how it would even feel to play on a huge 50 foot wide screen. I have a 46 inch tv at home and that seems big.
