Hi,
Last I heard, the big online shops had planned to stop selling video projectors until the World Cup is over. Don't know if they really did this, though...

Now shortly before the last World Cup started, there had been a dramatic increase in sales of video projectors, followed by a similarly dramatic amount of projectors getting sent back for a refund 14 days later. :DLooks like a lot of people used this 14 days trial period to watch the World Cup on slightly bigger screens. :w00t:
