Giant Cowboys Stadium LED wall caught playing Xbox 360 during downtime Update: Video!

The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it's showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it's been put to some real use: playing video games. Thankfully, Jonas Brothers video director Steve Fatone somehow pulled himself away from concert preparations to do just that earlier this week, and apparently became the first person to ever play Xbox 360 on the display in the process. As you can see above and in the gallery below, the two certainly seem to be made for each other, although it looks like the controller can get a tad touchy if you stray too far while trying to play it.

Update: Our man Steve hooked us up with a video of the rig in action -- head after the break to check it out.

[Thanks, Steve; photos thanks to Troy]

[KRIS_C_123 @ Jun 20th 2009 6:30PM]

My computer froze trying to watch the video. It's so epic..........Too epic some might say.

[adrian @ Jun 20th 2009 8:22PM]

Awesome!

[Steve @ Jun 20th 2009 9:10PM]

Can you say
The Way It's Meant To Be Played

[andrew @ Jun 20th 2009 10:04PM]

That is awesome. I wonder how much it cost in electricity to run that giant screen.

[Macbeth @ Jun 21st 2009 12:20AM]

Their necks must hurt.

[ubertome @ Jun 21st 2009 4:23AM]

so much win!

[va jj @ Jun 21st 2009 12:16PM]

fire up so pornos baby.

[Macbeth @ Jun 21st 2009 2:51PM]

@steve

sorry, wrong console. The xbox is powered by ATi.

[danimaldan @ Jun 20th 2009 4:08PM]

WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[newjaruz @ Jun 20th 2009 4:09PM]

DAMN! I which I had the opportunity to do that LMAO..... Thats must be amazing! I would love to get my HALO3 or Killzone2 on, on that thing!

[daniel rodriguez @ Jun 20th 2009 4:09PM]

now if he were to play wii on it, would it be better to put the sensor bar above or below the screen?

[naz @ Jun 20th 2009 7:00PM]

at least if you let go of the wii-mote it wouldn't smash the screen

[Connor @ Jun 20th 2009 8:27PM]

I don't think it would make a difference, the stretched mass of pixels would be indiscernible either way.

[word2389 @ Jun 20th 2009 8:47PM]

Remember that famous mac/apple superbowl add where the jumbo screen gets smashed by the hammer? that's what happens if you play wii on this.

[Jo Blo @ Jun 21st 2009 1:10AM]

Next year we should see them using with Project Natal with the whole Cowboys team inside the screen playing NFL 2010/2011 as training

[Indyaner @ Jun 20th 2009 4:09PM]

Videoprove must be delivered!

[OneLove @ Jun 20th 2009 4:24PM]

...you want fries and english with your order?

[Indyaner @ Jun 20th 2009 4:38PM]

Please. Make it Supersize.

[Gonzobot @ Jun 21st 2009 1:43AM]

Proof indeed. Though the proof I'd like to see is just where in the hell the RCA inputs are for this screen?? Its not like its got 'easy-access' ports on the side of the monitor. Chances are the xbox was half a mile away buried in a subterranean control room with no windows and hundreds of video screens.

Give me a 30" 1080p display over this, any day of the week, even Saturday.

[jon @ Jun 21st 2009 1:35PM]

they where able to use fiber and put the xbox and controller right in the seats. It was not looking up. It was looking straight in front.

[Eric @ Jun 22nd 2009 1:38PM]

No thanks, I have 30 inch displays at home. a 30 foot (30'), now I would take that for a Blu-ray movie any day!
:-)

[SLB @ Jun 20th 2009 4:10PM]

Wow, just imagine curb-stomping someone on that huge screen!

[Galactor963 @ Jun 20th 2009 4:10PM]

I wonder how many friend requests SoneAF1015 is going to get after this event/post.

[Scott @ Jun 20th 2009 5:37PM]

I was just thinking the same thing. Talk about giving up privacy.

[Aguiluz @ Jun 20th 2009 4:10PM]

Jonas Brothers!? Eeeeewww.... Just like Hannah Montana.

[Mike P. @ Jun 20th 2009 4:43PM]

Except male. No wait... no. You're right.

[ohsnapitstahj @ Jun 20th 2009 4:48PM]

sure it is... at $40 million, 600-tons, 60 yards long and 72 feet tall. Its win alright, but its measurable :)

[ohsnapitstahj @ Jun 20th 2009 4:50PM]

that was for B3astofthe3ast a few post down..Er

[ben @ Jun 21st 2009 1:22AM]

The screen is almost as large as their ego!

[Pingles @ Jun 20th 2009 4:10PM]

I would sit on the ledge at the bottom and play.

[MARSHAK @ Jun 21st 2009 12:03AM]

sweetie, you're sitting too close to the tv.

[sweet greggo @ Jun 20th 2009 4:11PM]

oh man, i live just a few miles from the stadium. they need to rent that out!

[Chasqui @ Jun 20th 2009 6:16PM]

I live in Arlington too - and I would LINE UP to pay for 15 minutes of game time in the stadium. Don't know what game I'd run, but a FPS for sure.

[Joel @ Jun 21st 2009 11:23AM]

"I have a fence stuck in my cheek!"

[superhobo @ Jun 20th 2009 4:15PM]

My knees are weak.

[ALBGunner04 @ Jun 20th 2009 5:45PM]

Best get that checked out.

[m3nphls @ Jun 20th 2009 4:19PM]

I bet you that screen got a RRoD after playing it lol

[nvidiagtx @ Jun 20th 2009 4:20PM]

The screen does not RROD the xbox does and it does not matter what screen...

[m3nphls @ Jun 20th 2009 4:24PM]

you obviously didn't get my joke =S

[kavendano14 @ Jun 20th 2009 4:27PM]

no one did

[EricC @ Jun 20th 2009 5:51PM]

No, you didn't.

[B3astofthe3ast @ Jun 20th 2009 4:19PM]

That is an immeasurable amount of win.

[chrisyz @ Jun 20th 2009 6:22PM]

In fact, it's actually 11,520 square feet of win.

[drumwiz86 @ Jun 21st 2009 1:12AM]

in fact or actually pick one

[Slingshotz06 @ Jun 21st 2009 3:10AM]

Or Infactually!

[EMaster @ Jun 20th 2009 4:20PM]

I would like to see a video of it to see the framerate.
