Creative have been riding the "Monopoly Wave" for too long now. The time has come for some good competition to hopefully provide a better product and service.

I have had THREE Creative MP3 players die on me, not to mention two of my friends', too.

Lets hope this shakes them up a little!
God yes, their MP3 players SUCK! I got a Zen Jukebox when they first debuted in 2002, and both mine and my then girlfriend's died AT THE SAME TIME! No kidding, within the same month they wouldn't power on, and it was a few months after the year warranty. And to add insult to injury, it was while we were backpacking in Europe.

I do agree though, I'm tired of Creative's domination of sound card sales. Time for bluegears, HT Omega, Turtle Beach and Auzentech to shine.

I've been saying for the longest time now Creative is the absolute worst of the worst when it comes to hardware. I'm on my THIRD creative sound card. Their MP3 players are wretched. Their support stinks. I could care less if Creative goes under...I hope they do.

The SP is awesome as always The multiplayer is insane.The game is a lot more balanced than COD4 and feels a lot better. The maps in MP are awesome. The game is totally worth the $60.
