Audigy X-gamer 5.1, OEM

GROUND shipping for $13.20 LOL Comes to $80 DELIVERED to me.
Can anyone find a better deal on this card? Or is there a comparable card for the money?

 

[AnimEva]

that looks like a horrible deal there...sorry. they are usually found for like 50-55 i would think

 

[WDK]

Yeah, AT had it for $55 shipped awhile back from TCWO.

 

[geoffkin]

Was $55 but not anywhere now? My roomate wants it now, went down to Fry's and didn't buy it because the $90 sale was over. That's $100 plus TAX! I knew we could beat that price and did for $80 delivered. But where does he get it NOW for less?

If you need comp parts, I would always check here first at Newegg. I have built three systems and ordered numerous parts and the service and quality, including competitive price, has always been at Newegg. Only place I trust now 100% when ordering online...I don't even go to the computer fairs anymore...watch for their specials with Free shipping. <No I don't work there>
Here is your OEM Audigy $65 bucks shipped...enjoy.
LINKY
<EDIT>oops just noticed you looking for OEM Xgamer version, that price above is for OEM Audigy only, they do tho have the RETAIL xgamer for $84 plus $7 shipping.

 

[geoffkin]

Thanks, but I found the AT linky for $55 delivered...
TCWO

BUT, neither of those say X-Gamer. Why not? Because it doesn't have the retail box? or are there other differences?

 

[Beandog]

Yes, I am curious too, whats the difference between the Reg. Audigy, Xgamer Audigy, and the MP3 Audigy...its a Holiday and I am feeling lazy sorry so I don't feel like looking them all up and comparing.

 

[recha]

Does the specific brand/model matter when it comes to vid cards? Like What's the difference between a SB Live! and SB Audigy Gamer 24 bit or some SB Platinum?

 

[hkssupra69]

which audigy has the tos output? Is it just audigy ex?

 

[namux]

I believe the all the boards are exactly the same, even up to the platinum except the platinum comes with the live drive. The only difference is the software. It is all a marketing ploy. Creative did the same with the SB Live!.

 

[MontyBurns]

All of the boards are EXACTLY the same. The only difference is the software package. The Platinum and Extigy packages also include a sep. external control panel, but the card is exactly the same in all flavors.

 

[geoffkin]

Found a thread on it, actual card is the same for all, except for maybe the connectors! LOL

Yeah, back in the day I wasted cash on the live! x-gamer I have now because I thought I was going to use the digital output (that was missing on the live! value card...) but in the case of the Audigy, might as well get the standard fare.
