amBx 4D Surround Sound System

amBx 4D Surround Sound System

Well this is it, Philips have released the first glimpse in to the world of at home 4d gaming, Movies and Music! Imagine being able to watch your own private 4d movies right in your living room, or listening to music as thou you were at the concert it's self, or even play your favourite games and accidently forgetting where you are (in the middle of your living room not in the deep rainforests of Vietnam or rocking out on a live tour in guitar hero.) Yes, I'm talking about the Philips amBx sound system, a sound system of extremely awesome 4d capabilities.

So what is the amBx? Well the amBx is a surround sound system, with built in lights, fans, rumble mats and big speakers. So what does it do? Well once connected to your computer, the sound system reacts to what's on the screen, so if your playing Call of Duty the lights on top of the speakers automatically adjust to the lighting on the screen, when a chopper flies past the fans kick in and when you fire your gun the rumble mat, well, rumbles as well as the ultra clear speakers playing their part as you battle it out on the battlefield with your mates.

So what do I need to set it up? Will it be hard to set up? Ok, so the amBx comes in a variety of kits depending on what you want it to do and your budget (because it is a little over priced.) But there are four different kits to suit your need and budget, but all you need is anyone of the kits below and basically just plug and play because Philips have done a very good job of making it idiot proof at best.

The Starter Kit:

• Left and Right front lights
• Wall washer light and control unit.

The Pro Gamer Kit:

• The Left and Right 2.1 speaker/lights and subwoofer
• Wall all washer and control unit.

The Premium Kit:

• Left and Right 2.1 speaker/lights and Subwoofer
• Wall Washer light with Control Unit
• A Set of Fans
• A Wrist Rumbler

The Extension Kit (To build onto your starter kit or Pro Kit):

• A Set of Fans
• Wrist Rumbler

So is it worth it? Well personally I'm all for it, and was looking forward to getting one ever since the release of the concept work. But I was fairly disappointed with the outrageous price. But was really impressed when I tried it, it would however be much, much better if bigger gaming companies such as Blizzard and EA jumped on, and make the amBx applicable for games such as World of Warcraft. But even still with the games you can use It for the overall 4d effect is incredible, but its still well worth it, as even watching movies and listening to music with the amBx is an incredible experience in it's self.
