One hellova cheap projector.

I came across this, Mega Pro Game Projector I have no experience at all with projectors and I was looking at other projectors and this quite frankly looks pathetic in comparison. Is it really worth it though?. It's ether this or a £300-400 28inch wide screen.

I know a few people, me included, who bought the Panasonic AE200 for £650. That's about half what it cost a year a go. Tectronics had it at this price.

I'm very happy with it, but I don't know if that's over budget for you.
