Answer
It's a "business" class projector, but would work fine for games on a 360. Note that the low contrast ratio (400:1) will limit the picture quality, but that isn't as important for games as for video. Similarly the video processing may be somewhat less than stellar, but again it isn't that important for games.
I can't comment on how big an image you will get since this depends on the optics and the distance you can get back from the screen. That said, in a small room a 60-70" image should be large enough (and possible).
I don't see any mention of price, but for $400-$500 or so this would be an OK choice. Just note that you will have to replace the lamp every year or so (depending on use) and that will cost ~$350 or so. As an LCD based model it may cost more than this ... if so consider a DLP based BenQ, InFocus or Optoma ... you should be able to find one in the $500 range.
I can't comment on how this compares to many other similar projectors that would work too, but Sanyo have a long history in projectors so it's a name brand.

Do you use a Media projector?
Numbskull
I was thinking of buying one.
How are they for use as a computer display?
How are they for dvd viewing or Xbox 360?
The retail outlets, that I have been to, do not have working units on display and I do not know anyone who has one.
I would like to know your opinion on the display quality,to decide if it is worth throwing down the $600.+ just to find out the pictur is crappy.
thankz :)
Answer
I use an HD (720p) projector in my home theatre instead of an HDTV ... great way to get a BIG (110") picture. Just like being at the movies!
There are two main classes of projectors: business and home theatre. Both can usually be connected to a computer via a VGA input (or DVD-D).
Relative to home theatre projectors business models are usually less expensive (ca $500-$800), more portable, brighter (1500+ lumens), have poorer video processing, are noisier and often 4:3 aspect ratio (vs 16:9). In short, business models are best for bright primary colours and work OK with video sources, they are really less suited to movies, games and TV than HT models.
You really want a HT model, and these fall in three basic classes based on resolution: 480p ($500-$1000), 720p ($900+), 1080p ($1800+).
While a big picture is great -- particularly with a high contrast (2000:1 or better), HD model (720p or better), note that projectors work best in a dim/dark room (the image is washed out in bright light) and lamps need to be replaced every 2-4000 hrs and cost $300-$500 a pop. ... so projectors are not inexpensive to run.

You can buy used projectors, but given lamps may be almost shot it is probably a good idea to by a reconditioned or new model on sale.
Good luck.
