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.
Death Race Blu-ray features unique BD-Live contest
Bringing the "look-at-me" Web 2.0 feel to the set-top box, Universal's Death Race Blu-ray will include the ability for users to record a play by play video of themselves, and upload it to be judged and win unspecified prizes. On top of that BD-Live powered treat Digital Copy and DTS-HD MA audio should come home as part of the package. Beyond a December 23 release date (same as the DVD) little else is known for sure but in the meantime we'll need to update our Twitter, Myspace & Facebook statuses while taking oddly-angled cellphone pics in the mirror.
