Why couldn't you use it for movies? Sure, I wouldn't want to look down at my table for long viewing experiences. However, a projector could always be built into the table, or included as an accessory so it could be positioned to the user's liking. The table could have built in connections (and maybe shelving?) for your set top box, consoles, etc.
Theoretically if done correctly one Surface table could be your PC, coffee table, AND entertainment center in one. Sure, it might up the cost of it, but you wouldn't be spending any extra on an HDTV, etc.
