As for the sound card, the SBLive! X-Gamer is the better buy.
The X-Gamer, MP3 and Platinum are all the exact same card and software.
The Platinum differes only in that it comes with LiveDrive standard.
The X-Gamer has a very good game package that is worth more than the $90 you
pay for the card :)
