Phillips has been pushing their amBX ambient hardware for PC games for some time now but today the company announced price cuts across the board on its hardware, at least in the UK, bringing the price point under 100 pounds for its Starter Kit. In addition, the company announced plans to add amBX support to the upcoming Ubisoft flying action game Tom Clancy's HAWX.The near-future flying action game is due out this fall and the amBX technology will add things like rumble effects via a wrist strip along with lighting and fan effect to supposedly give the player more immersion while playing the game. amBX has previously announced support for other upcoming Ubisoft titles like Far Cry 2 and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.

I dunno', maybe it is just because I've never seen amBX in action but this "technology" just seems laughable to me.
