D-BOX unveils high performance, GPH-120 Hybrid home entertainment system priced at $US 2,999!

LAS VEGAS, NV, Jan. 8, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- D-BOX Technologies Inc. (DBO.A on the TSX Venture Exchange) a leader in innovative motion technology for the entertainment industry, is showcasing its much anticipated new GPH-120 Hybrid Motion system at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (in booth No. 21537, South Hall 1, Las Vegas Convention Center). Quite possibly the strongest consumer value that D-BOX has offered to date, this complete gaming and home theatre Motion system features two robust robotic motion actuators built into a sleek modern-design gaming seat, delivering real-time responsiveness (up to 2Gs of acceleration!) to onscreen actions including pitch, roll and virtual heave. Complete with D-BOX's KAI-1P USB Motion interface, the GPH-120 carries a suggested retail price of $US 2,999 and will be available online at www.d-box.com and through speciality retailers in the first half of 2009.

"We have put significant effort into creating a system that delivers the distinctive realistic motion effect experience that has made D-BOX a buzz word among gamers and home theatre enthusiasts alike, yet at a price point that more people can consider," stated Claude Mc Master, President and Chief Executive Officer of D-BOX Technologies. "We call the GPH-120 a Hybrid system because it bridges the gap between the home theatre and gaming markets. This represents an important milestone for D-BOX in the fast growing gaming market as it positions us perfectly for the eventual compatibility of our technology with major gaming consoles."

The GPH-120 is an interactive entertainment enthusiast's dream system, designed to withstand the often brutal and relentless, hour-after-hour usage common to hardcore gamers. From riding a stick shift on a high-speed Indy-styled racetrack to controlling a jet fighter plane in free fall, the comfortable, compact and consumer customizable GPH-120 system can be expanded through the purchase of accessory brackets and mounts which accommodate addition of a steering wheel and accelleration pedal. Furthermore, a home theater-styled footrest can be added to watch movies for a truly realistic motion experience.

HOW IT WORKS

Through the KAI-1P USB-connected D-BOX Motion Code interface, the system captures the user feedback and sends signals back to the system, triggering the two actuators, and delivering the movement sensations of pitch, roll, heave and intelligent vibration. The system reacts instantaneously, in real time, with absolutely no delay, like no other systems on the market.

The fully-adjustable GPH 120 reclining/adjustable gaming seat/system is compatible with many popular PC based video games including: Need For Speed Undercover (Electronic Arts), GRID (Codemasters), iRacing, Crysis Warhead (Crytek), rFactor (Image Space), Nitro Stunt Racing (GameSeed), Live For Speed, Battlefield 2 (Electronic Arts), Microsoft Flight Simulator X and X Plane 9 (Laminar Research). The GPH-120 is also fully compatible with more than 850 movie titles available for home theatre usage on Blu-ray and DVD format.
