Yeah, the D-Box is a pretty awesome but expensive system. Cuz of that you won't find them in the average HT right now.

However the plan as relayed to me by my local shop that sells D-Box is that the price will be coming down considerably over the next few years. The motion decoding will be built into select HT AVR's in the coming years so no separate controller will be required. Also, in the movie theaters they are talking about introducing select seating with D-Box (extra $ per ticket?) so the general movie going population becomes familiar with the technology. This will hopefully set the stage for better home adoption with more accessible pricing.

I sure can't afford it right now, but I do love to sit in on a demo whenever I drop into my shop!
