Creative Labs owes me $60

[Mercutio]

And if you bought an Audigy or an Extigy, They owe you $60, too.

OK, it's a credit on a future Creative Labs purchase, not actual money, but I'm sure Creative will trick me into buying a sound card again someday. Especially when it's a dolby-digital encoding something-or-other.

Can you say "extra margin padding and the money comes back to the mothership?"

Considering that there is zero additional cost for this, beyond the money I already spent on an audigy, I may well be OK with that.

Especially if Creative actually makes a compelling next-generation product.

I did not know that they had mis-represented the specs. Shame on them.

I Signed up. It can't be worth less than $0.00 which is what I had before.

The issue is the specs listed on the box, which say that the Audigy does playback of 24-bit/96kHz audio... without mentioning that the over whelming majority of playback will be 16-bit, 44kHz-upsampled-to-48kHz audio.

The only way to get 24/96 audio out of an audigy is by playing an Audio DVD.
