Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Sound Card for $46.99 or even $41.99 after rebate, using a Buy.com $10 off or 10% off ($15 max) coupon that can be found around (try googling it).
Old $100 rebate ended 6-30, but was replaced with new rebate valid 7-1 to 8-31.

EDIT: Price up to $169.99 before rebate/coupons so the best you're looking at is 54.99 after discounts.

AFTER $100 MIR. Seems like a decent price for last gen sound card, but kinda big rebate. Something goes wrong as it sometimes does with rebate companies and you're paying way too much for it... dunno.

Edit: is it last gen or 2 gen ago? Just looking and I see they have both X Fi and Audigy 4 cards available. Not sure what's what.
Edit2: Okay, looked it up myself. Audigy 4 is essentially just another Audigy 2 ZS. More like a A2 ZS 2. Same core but with slightly improved SNR and DACs, at least according to wikipedia.

A couple points.
Rebate expires after today, Jun 30. --- New rebate replaced old, with 7-1 to 8-31 dates
There are $10 off $150 for new customers, and 10% off coupons around. Use if you can.

Edit: I'm not a new customer, but created new account (new email) with old address/name/and CC, $10 off coupon still seems to work.

Awesome... I've been watching this for a while. Had a 10% off coupon (haven't ordered from them in a while) which took up to 15.00 off, so it should be 141.99 - 100 rebate = 41.99. Works for me!

Thanks OP!

Doh,,, I deleted all my emails from Buy.com. Where's 10% when I really need one? hehe

Thanks OP. Been watching this one a while, it was $68.99 last I checked AR, so this is good...


I am not so sure if the rebate will work if you use a 10% coupon, it says not valid with any other offers ...

I used 10% coupon on this the last time it was on sale and my rather large $100 rebate came through fine. Great sound card setup by the way. The front panel with the firewire port is awesome!

Should have no effect on a Creative Labs product rebate. On my reciept, it shows two items. A $10 off special ($0.00) and the audigy 2 zs ($146.99). Doesn't show 10 being removed or anything, just shows a lowered price on the sound card.

FWIW: Creative rebates are relatively hassle free. I did a $250 rebate on the creative multimedia player, they sent it within 5 weeks. I have also done a couple of other rebates with no problems at all.

Am I qualified for the new rebate if I already made the June one? I saw they have different promotion number. Thanks.

Grabbed one w/10% off, have an old live that has been making some noise.

I am struggling and need some advice. Is it worth to upgrade from Turtle Beach Santa Cruz to this card? I read some bad reviews about Audigy's driver. For those who own the card, what is your opinion?

Yes, it's a completely new rebate. And limit is 2. I have sent in maybe a dozen Creative rebates and never had a single problem.

I don't know about Turtle beach - never owned one..

I bought my Audigy 2ZS Platinum when it was $199 (with $100 rebate) - mid-last year or so. It works fine both in WinXP and in Linux.

Weird, I received the 10% coupon on June 23, and haven't placed any other orders w/ Buy.com since Feb. Yet, each time I attempt purchase this item and submit from checkout, it tells me I've either used the coupon previously or I'm not eligble! Heck, I'm using the account associated w/ the email address on the coupon, what more does it want?! Is there a problem using FatCash w/ a Buy.com coupon that could account for this problem?

Buy is first, then send them email to ask for a price adjustment. I did it before successfully.

Hi Amao,
It will be a noticeable difference from the Santa Cruz. I had a Santa Cruz and noticed quite a difference going to the Creative Live! 24 bit which is a crippled up version of the Audigy 2 value sound card. The 24 bit sound is awesome! (All of this assumes you have a nice 2.1 or more spaker setup!) I can't help the fellow with the Diamond sound card though because I've never owned his sound card.
