Heh, yes I'm a staffer. I actually just finished Prime 2, which I was behind on, and that's why I haven't picked up three yet.
As for SPM, I tested with that game because my dad has a 67 inch Samsung DLP from like 2 gens ago (not LED obviously) and the jumping on that game was so painfully delayed on his TV. In fact, I think I made a thread here about it.
You didn't answer my question about Guitar Hero... does that run at 60 frames?
Oh and my old TV was a 53 inch sony projection from like 8 years ago, and I used to play Wii Play on that. Also, what does Link's Crossbow Training run at? Because I play that on this new TV as well and don't notice any lag in the aiming.
The older Samsung DLPs are agreed to have the lag problem.
GHIII runs at 60fps. Button-based lag is more difficult to discern than the cursor lag I've come across.
Can't comment on Link's Murder Simulator cuz I didn't fall for Nintendo's casual gamer trap. But 30fps games should be less affected by lag.
The big projection TVs from the previous decade should not have any lag since they natively operate at 480 lines. My parents also have a 53" Sony projecto.
I failed to mention I didn't check if my Wang(TM) was running in 480p or 480i at Frys. I was using a pre-owned Nyko component cable I bought for $20. What I do know is the games were a blurry mess on the 6187 compared to the crispness of my CRT display. Curse the HD revolution.
Pale, please try Wii Play Shooting in 480i on your 6187, with and without Game Mode, and present your findings. Try drawing circles with the cursor, use twitch-aiming across the screen, don't lead/follow targets, etc.

Operation TV-GET yesterday was a DISASTER

When we first arrived to pick it up, the store staff had rolled out the wrong TV model (5676). So I waited 10min while they rolled it back and looked for the real one. They brought back the real one (5687).
My friend and I picked up the TV, drove off, opened it up at my apartment, set it down on the stand all nice and centered, and decided to turn it on. Then we discovered,
NO REMOTE
NO PAPERS
NO POWER CORD
WTF
The staff failed to notice they had handed me an OPEN BOX0RS product by MISTAKE.
So right now it's boxed up and sitting in my apartment only as a BLOCK OF LIES AND DECEIT AND DESPAIR.
I'm going back later today to pickup the real thing.
THE HD REVOLUTION OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT ME AND IS FIGHTING BACK WITH EVERY OUNCE OF EVIL IT CAN MUSTER
