In this preview we had taken a hands on first look at Yamahas
now cancelled XG-Movie 5.1 sound card. Thats right - we said
now cancelled. The bad news hit us lastnight when Yamaha
respectfully asked us to remove our preview as they did not want to built anticipation for
a card that will no longer hit the market. For those of you who were looking
forward to the advanced movie features of the XG-Movie 5.1 the one glimmer of hope is the
company that apparently did some (if not all) of the board design (StarUSA) will be carrying forward with
their own movie focussed board. The specifications of their board are clearly
subject to change but we are in contact with them and will offer you new information as it
comes available.
Both Yamaha and all of us at 3DsoundSurge apologize for any
inconvenience and disappointment resulting from this announcement.
