Sound card dilema

[spec74]

I'm thinking of upgrading my Sound card finally for who knows how long ago I did that...

Anyways should i get a used sound blaster live for 20 bucks or should i just go for a new audigy 2 100 bucks?

I want the ability to plug the sound card to my tv so i could play the movies on the comp...

I've been looking at the Audigy 2 ZS limited gamer edition for around 115 just because you get like 150 bucks worth of pretty money games with it (Halo, Jedi Academy, etc.).

Sounds like a deal... I starting to sway toward audigy 2 more and more

I have an Audigy 2. The Audigy 2 can be had for $75 OEM, the ZS about $20 more. The only differents between the 2 is that the ZS has 108 DB SNR vs. 106 DB SNR for the Audigy 2 and the ZS has 7.1 vs. 6.1 in the basic Audigy 2. I bought the Audigy 2 cause I did not need 7.1 and 2 DB of SNR is virtually unoticable.
