Isnt the ambx kit something like a set of speakers with flashy lights on top of them or something that light up whenever a powerup has happened?

Its main purpose is to make you feel really inside the game. Lights are its main thing, but it also includes fans, a rest for your arms (like ones that come with keyboards, you know) that shakes and I think some other thing.

Whats with the fans, to blow wind in the air at you and make you shiver while you play?

In multiwinia they are activated when you zoom out (your head is in the windy sky)

I think they could make a better effect in games like mirrors edge and in assassins creed (when you make a leap of faith)

I hope that it's not just for zooming out. I'm acting very paranoid for a REASON here...

Yeah, but the postage is almost as much as the product itself

Lucky so and so.

ambx is on my buy list, but it's behind buying a computer as I dont think it will be particularly useful with a laptop.
