Hello,
Welcome to HomeTheaterShack.
What is your budget for this project? Also, what equipment do you currently have? Projectors have come down greatly in price. If on a real tight budget, probably one of the business style projectors will be the way to go as opposed to HT projectors simply because of price.
Given the size of your space, it will be important to find a projector that does well with short throws (distances). Also, a screen will definitely add to your budget.
How about a DLP Rear Projection TV? Mitsubishi makes 65' sets that can be fairly easily found for around 1000 Dollars. Much more tolerant of ambient light in the room and probably cheaper than going with a projector and screen. And, far easier to setup. You could do a DIY screen however and save money if set on going the projector route.
If going with a projector, you will need either a AV Receiver which offers HDMI switching or a HDMI switcher to route your PS3, Xbox, etc. Also, the room needs to be completely dark for the projector to really work well.
Cheers,
JJ
