Very nice. I've been needing a new soundcard to support my 5.1 speakers. Thanks

Hmm, is this a Best Buy only rebate or is it from Creative? Be even better if you could buy it elsewhere without tax.

Don't forget about coupons if you received them this past week. You 10% off product, or if you charge to BB card, you get 12% off.

From what it says on rebate form:
"Offer good on products purchased only from authorized and participating CL reseller."
So it's not limited to only best buy....

Like most "limited edition" items, it says "limited edition" on the packaging. That's all!

Actually, it is most likely the game bundle that makes it so.

Does this card significantly sound/perform better than a Hercules GTXP?

 

[Algere]

It would in gaming as far as that goes.

 

[Vasp]

Ordered one for instore pick up. Thanks OP

Just a heads up, there is a sale tag out on these marked down a couple to $107.99. Using my 10% coupon, I got this card for $97.19 before tax. Finally used up some old gift cards from Christmas as well. Good stuff.

 

[DJFuji]

so this is the exact same hardware, just slightly different software bundle? Sounds like a really good deal. I've heard that the audigy ZS noticeably outperforms an SB Live 5.1.

 

[NuNuNYC]

got one after i did some digging on the shelves to find it hidden behind some other type of Audigy 2's... Thanks!! Best Buy circular mispriced the rebate as $30... Should be $50.

 

[demenion]

got it for 97$ - 50 rebate. good deal.

 

[Balthazar]

Snagged one of these for myself after the utterly disappointing AC97 Crapdec on this MSI K8N Neo Platinum....going from my old Soundstorm equipped NF2 board to this was just heartbreaking....

Not anymore though!
Will go nice with my new Klipsch 5.1's

I had placed an order online last night and then also picked one up at the local BB. After I came back from BB, I was hoping to cancel the online order ... but alas, it already shipped Oh why did BB have to be so efficient just this time

Anyway, I only need one, so I am going to refuse the UPS shipment when it reaches here. If someone wants it, you can have it at cost. Just let me know by today or latest tomorrow, since the package will be here most likely day after, and if I don't hear any interest by then, I will refuse the pkg.

After I get this thing I'll have 3 OEM copies of Angle of Darkness :disgust: But at least it's a good deal.

 

[Balthazar]

Holy crap, for once in store pickup only took them like an hour to process!

Also on the holy crap front. Going from the Realtek POS on this NF3 board to this is just....wow....I wanna say it even mocks my olf SoundStorm, but maybe its just becuase I've used the Realtek so long anything that isnt complete crap sounds like the best card ever made.

Thanks for the deal OP!

Thanks a lot!
I found this deal yesterday while I was browsing at BestBuy and got it. I did not know about the coupon. I came to this forum to post about it and found this thread. So, after reading your post, I printed the coupon (thanks) and went back and they gave me credit for it.
Thanks!

just upgraded from the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Gamer.....i'm kind of disappointed in this sound card... i just finished installing it, listened to some mp3's and played a couple games... sound quality sounds exactly the same =T... At least I get a copy of Halo, so I ain't at all that disappointed.

 

[Algere]

What kind of speakers do you have? If they're cheap you wouldn't hear much of a difference really.
