From the D-Box website...

Using the D-BOX™ IMS award-winning technology, you are moved in perfect synchronization with the on-screen action and sound. We take great pride and care to program D-BOX™ MOTION CODE™ for each movie and television series up to 175 hours of programming), so that each moment of your experience is intensified and every dramatic nuance is enhanced. You share the same motional forces as the actors themselves. The excitement is elevated because you're involved from start to finish.
I guess the closest comparison I could probably make is the Dual Shock controller. It just adds another level of "realism" to the experience. Although that is probably debatable. I'm not sure that I would like this feature. However, I haven't personally tried it, so it wouldn't really be fair for me to knock it without having experienced it first-hand. In theory, it sounds like it could be pretty cool for action movies. For example, in "Courage Under Fire" you would literally feel like you're in the helicopter making an emergency landing!
