Guild Leader Plays MMO On Asia's Largest Screen
Nearly every gamer has dreamed of hooking up their home consoles to a movie theater screen, but maybe we’ve all been dreaming small. Over the weekend, one lucky MMO player hooked his computer up to a 7,500 square meters LED display in the center of Beijing.
According to MMOsite, on the evening of November 21st, 2010, a guild leader from a Chinese MMO, called Magic World Online 2, hooked his notebook PC up to the largest LED screen in Asia. The screen, which is located in a Beijing square called The Place, measures 250 meters across and sits 30 meters tall – making it larger than a football field. Check out some pictures of The Place's giant screen on an average day below, and watch the event in action here.
Rumors have speculated that just 10 minutes of play on this screen would have cost this guy $15,000.
Totally worth it.
