amBX signs agreement to light up the PS3
PlayStation 3 owners need no longer be jealous of their PC-owning brethren. The amBX "ambient experience" technology is coming to the PS3, with amBX and Sony having reached an agreement today. amBX is a series of surround-sound systems that also provides custom lighting, rumble and air-flow, coded on a game-by-game basis. This new middleware license agreement allows amBX to produce custom effects for developers in-house.
We're not sure when the first amBX supporting PS3 titles will be released or whether the current range of amBX hardware will be supported on the console, but we hope to hear more details soon.
