I had no idea Razer were that big and rich... or that THX was so small and cheap...!!

So, green accent LEDs to surface on all cinemas, along with thin, flimsy-feeling seats?
"Made by cinema audiences, for cinema audiences"?

[Dashers]

THX with it's reputation for quality engineering now owned by Razer, with it's reputation for LEDs and gimmicks.

I feel like my THX equipment has just lost a lot of it's value (or perhaps they'll become collectors, from the good old days)

Same here, I'm very surprised on both counts.

Don't give them ideas!

So, expect Razer THX-powered sound cards and headsets soon?

[AGTDenton]

Well done to anyone who predicted it!
Likewise did not believe Razer were that big.

I miss the old film intros they did, it made everyone shut up before the film and absorbed you into the screen.

Expecting much lower THX quality in the future... in general Razer products are not relieable enough as it is and quality vs price it has gone way down the hill the last 10 years.

Once upon a day you could expect their products to last for long, but not anymore especially their mice can not take the punishment before they start to malfunction.

See, if it were all in 1980s blue/pink/purple neon colours, I'd be OK with it.

But green is just SOOO 90s...!!!

Yay... only Razer could apply that nasty, cheap, plasticky feel to audio.

HaHa so brought in to that gimme.

I hope all you people know that it just hardware side of thing that still req Dolby Digital Audio recording technology for it all to work.

Next up: THX-certified Razer BlackWidow keyboards.

THX is small and cheap, they were sold off by Lucas ages ago, then bought by Creative Labs and then dumped by them later on, now bought by Razer.

Hopefully they can do something good with it.

In the last decade or so I've associated the brand as a token badge on slightly-more-expensive audio equipment.

What do THX as a company actually do now? Sell expensive stickers?

"Razer" and "good" in the same post..?
