Tokyo racetrack installs biggest HDTV in the world

If you just rushed out to buy that new 103-inch plasma TV and now brag that you have the biggest screen around, avert your eyes. A horseracing track in Tokyo has just installed the largest HDTV in the world, and it's a whopping 218 feet wide and 37 feet tall. To put it in terms that will put your $70,000 TV to shame clearly, that's a 2,654-inch screen (diagonal) to your measly 103 inches. And you call yourself a man? Mitsubishi delivered the behemoth in 35 pieces and assembled it on site, with the whole shebang taking up 8,000 square feet. That's more than eight times the size of my apartment; how depressing. If you're looking to upgrade from that 19-incher you've had since college, start investing now, as this thing cost a cool $28 million, which doesn't include the cost of building a living room big enough to fit it.

GoW2 and Crysis would look like VERY LARGE generic FPSs.
Remember boys and girls the size of the monitor doesn't increase the quality of the game.
