Had my system for a little while now and the more its used the less it starts to work, first was the wall washer now the rummble, i have ATI x2 GPUS, and tech told me that this will screw with some games, tech isnt much help, still sounds really good but i would recommend a normal speaker system if you want some thing that will last and in many cases is cheaper and sounds better
Interesting Peripheral

Does as it says. Experience is a little underwhelming. Although I create motion rides so I've seen it all. I purchased this to use on a one-person ride I'm building. Keep in mind all that you're getting for $100 and you'll be happy.
Great product. Horrible support

This product will make you very very happy if you can make it work. It does not work with WoW and certain other games as well as trying to use it for movies. The support team is horrible, they will let you know that it has been tested on most applications but it wont work and they wont be able to help you.
But these things are loud and clear. When the lights do come up it is truly worth the money for the exprience.
Good system, bad bundles!

It's an awesome system, but the included games are way outdated (2006, and if you are a gamer you know thats a LONG TIME for a game). The amBX website indicates that HAWX was included, but I got FarCry 2, not a bad game, but I already had that one. Now I have an extra copy of FarCry 2 at home. To make my amBX work properly I had to uninstall my Logitech webcam to make the error screens stop (I'm running Vista Ultimate x64). All these errors are reported and are being worked on (accoring to the amBX.com website).
Best money ever spent for speakers!!!

First, This is a wonderful speakers system! Now, saying that don't use the software the comes with it. Go to www.philips.com and use the updated software. This will save a lot time and headaches with out of date drivers. The lighting effects leave you breathless in "FarCry" that comes with it. Now, the cons of this system. Having to learn the software make your own lighting effects during everyday listening.
