Well are you an audiophile? If you need a Creative Labs X-Fi Fatality FPS Sound Card then wait it out, but Im fine with my 7.1 nForce 4 onboard sound :\

The Audigy 2 ZS is an excellent choice for games AND music. The X-Fi is for people who want the absolute latest and greatest (like me). The Audigy2 is still an excellent card, and my quasi-audiophile ears love it with Logitech Z5300e speakers.

If you don't already have speakers that can take advantage of the ZS for gaming I wouldn't advise you waste $$ on it.

If you do plan on buying speakers soon (the x530's are great) or already have them the ZS will be a solid investment.

The Creative Audigy 2 ZS is an excellent choice for the average to above average gamer/user. It offers very good sound quality which will do wonders on a descent pair of speakers, and its great addition to any computer with onboard sound because it will alleviate some processing power.

I borrowed a friends X-Fi fat card but unless u listen absolutely close on an average speaker set you wont know much difference. IF you got a highend speaker system however u do get slightly better sound. I myself will buy one when the prices comes down in the future but right now im good with my setup:

Current PC seteup: Creative Audigy 2 ZS, 5.1 Surround Logitech X-530, 5.1 Surround Creative Cambridge Soundworks set, much older but still excellent. Which gives me a nice 10.2 surround setup cuz i use splitters, sweet stuff :p
