Movie theater repurposed as Xbox arcade

A cinema operator in a small town in Utah has started running Friday night gaming tournaments in which Xboxes are connected to the big screens and sound-systems.

Theater managers took four video projectors, set one up in each of four theaters with a Microsoft XBox video game system connected to it, and then let the fun begin for more than 60 people.

"Tonight blew our minds," theater co-owner Calvin Timothy said afterward. "We're definitely going to keep doing this."

The game Friday night: "Halo" — a first-person shoot-em-up game in which four people can play on a team against four others. The evening was set up in a tournament format where 16 teams battled each other until the wee hours of Saturday morning to find out who the kings of gaming are in the valley.
