The VUE cinema near me has a couple of it's screens that are exclusively digital now and another couple that have both new and old technology site by side, I think in total there are 6 screens with digital capabilities. About 4 months ago they hosted a halo tornament there (actually the regional event of a national competition) where people were multiplayer halo gaming on the big screen. :)
