Creative X-Fi Platinum *refurb* $59.99+tax free shipping

[chizow]

Creative 2-day sale starts June 10-12

Looks like a pretty nice deal on a refurb X-Fi with drive bay. There's a new X-Fi PCI-E out now that also supports DDLive. Creative has promised DDLive drivers in July for existing X-Fi cards.

Also a few other deals in there, like Muvos, Zens, head phones, etc.

Platinum refurb shows $60 on the sale front page, but shows $100 on the info page or when put into the cart. Not sure what that means...

My bad - I usually read the details (and know what day today is) better than that

 

[marmasatt]

Anyone know what the warranty is on like a recertified/refurbished card? It's not lifetime or anything crazy right? I mean they'd have to give you at least a year I'd imagine.

It's only 90 days.

Great deal!

I laughed pretty hard at this part, though

X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer? enhances MP3s and movies to sound better than they do on their original CD or DVD.

Tempting...

*chuckle* that is pretty funny...

Great card though! I might pick one up

Is it worth the upgrade on any of these audio cards from the Creative Soundblaster 24-bit live card?

 

[ChaosDivine]

It seems quite a bit better. I noticed the change coming from an A2 ZS.

 

[videopho]

I've got two of these on two separate rigs.
One big problem though, the one installed in my Vista64 which I never could get the front panel to work.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Worth the upgrade if I am a gamer using Sennheiser HD 212 Pros (headphones) and an Audigy 2 ZS?

 

[ashishmishra]

Sweet, snagged a webcam, shipping was a little on the high end though.

 

[Corporate Thug]

nice, I might grab this platinum tomorrow.

Would the remote work w/ Itunes?

If that's a modded A2 ZS, no

 

[Magusigne]

In for one..lets see how this goes

 

[psihog]

Does the refurb X-fi platinum for $60 uses same card as $70 X-fi XtremeGamer?

Ooops, NO, it uses the same card as the xtreme music.

 

[MTDEW]

Oh, and just for clarity, the X-treme Gamer is nothing but a "reworked" half height version of the X-treme music.
So they all have the same features "on the card itself". (the gamer, music and platinum)

 

[etrin]

yea I have a music and a gamer....when I first got the gamer I was like....whoooah this thing is too small isn't it....all I could think of was a winmodem..no I got ripped..but its good
only one not to buy is the pci-e junker...it is nothing but junk

Fataility is the one with more memory onboard but I dont' know if its ever been used.
Overall this is a good deal on a nice card..IF you are using onboard or a no brand get one..you won't regret it

 

[jlee]

OOS already. :|

 

[TurtleCrusher]

oh god, that'd kill my Audigy gamer for recording..
