Well, it's not limiting because the projector would be IN the system, so everyone would have it.
But, that would be VERY expensive, and not worth it. What do you really get out of a projection aside from a large screen? Also, you'd have to stick it in the middle of a room. Also, you would need to clear out an open surface to actually shine the projector on to. Why not just use the TV? Yeah, that would save a lot of money, heck, isn't that why EVERY SINGLE CONSUMER DEVICE tends to use the TV if it's possible, except the PC?
I'm not even going to humor a claim like this one. I label it what Pen & Teller tend to label a lot of nonsense. (Not to say I won't accept evidence to the contrary, I'm just saying I would be surprised.) But, no matter. As small as it is, I'd say a more likely option would be some sort of flip top screen accessory and battery pack to attach to the thing. I wouldn't get it, because they tend to be more expensive than the systems they are made for, but it would be a lot more interesting a solution than just some projection screen. Those are over rated...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
