I got my X-fi Xtreme gamer card for 50 at circuit city ( normally 90 ) so you have to look around for good deals. Really the Xtreme gamer is the best card to get for the soundblaster series ( the only series you should consider ) since its not stripped down like the Xtreme music version and doesn't have the flashy X-Ram ( totally useless since almost no game supports it )

Can you find cables that goes from 3.5mm to Optical on the other end cuz those cards does not have a regular optical output that you would find in say.... a home theater system?
