   If it means I can rent them (or stream them as part of what a   
   monthly/annual fee buys), then I'm all for it. Whenever I looked them   
   up in the past, they were purchase-only. It's been a while since I did   
   that; even I give up after a long long time.   
      
   And DBOX appears to be an enhanced version of Sensurround. Which MAD   
   labled "senseless round", as in "another senseless round of nonsense"   
   or words to that effect.   
      
   Note on Sensurround: if you ever watch /Dauntless/ or /Rollercoaster/   
   and find yourself wondering why you are looking a motor running for so   
   long, /that/ is when the giant woofers surrounding the audience were   
   activated to produce the Sensurround effect of shaking them in their   
   seats.   
      
   I hope those special seats for DBOX include barf bags!
