D-BOX deal brings Motion Code rumblings to Universal Blu-ray Discs

We'll be completely honest -- we had every idea that D-BOX would just fade away into the sunset just a few short months after we initially heard about it. Au Contraire! In just the past week, we've seen the outfit -- which is responsible for a rumbling Motion Code technology that enables you to "feel" the motions of the movie you're watching -- venture into the wide world of gaming and now into Universal's heart. Starting with the December 23-bound Death Race, D-BOX Motion Code will be available on select Universal Studios Home Entertainment Blu-ray Discs, and if we were still placing bets, we'd now say this is probably just the first of many big studio licensing agreements to come.

"we'd now say this is probably just the first of many big studio licensing agreements to come."

Well, you'd be wrong then. Universal is one of the LAST big studios to come on board with D-Box (probably because they have been licking their HD-DVD wounds since last January.) Fox, Disney and Sony have all supported D-Box Motion Codes in select blu-rays for over a year now.

Who's writing these things nowadays? I could churn out a more educated article after a 14 hour night shift.

Well our friend Darren needs to do his homework better, even Lionsgate has included D-BOX on some of their movies. You should pay more attention a bit more to what you are writting, some of us are watching.
