Holy crap! 116 viewing this article at 10:30pm MST, and about 30 links from other sites linking to this thread. Amazing, never seen anything like it.

Oh, and I'm currently proud to not own a single Creative product. Haven't since the 90's .

EDIT: 30 ref-backs I guess, looks like many are dupes from the same threads in the other links. Still....amazing.

I've never been happy with my X-Fi (although some research on my part before I bought it would have helped. X-Fi + Nforce 4 is no good) but this might be enough to make me try out one of the new ASUS boards or something comparable in my next build. I own Creative sound card and a Creative MP3 player and both have suffered greatly since I moved over to Vista. Although I'm not as outraged as some over this whole fiasco, it might be enough to make me reconsider doing business with a company I'm already not especially happy with.

Can you provide any evidence for this?

Yeah, I always thought those two looked extremely familiar... Didn't they also rebrand it as some kind of audigy before they pretended it was an x-fi? Audigy SE or something?

So it went like this:

$30 SB Live! --> $30 SB Audigy SE --> $70 SB x-fi extreme audio?

Piss on creative.

Whether or not all these threads and posts are justified, there is no doubt that they will create a stir. I am really curious to see what happens to their stock price and also whether or not this mess could possibly get any attention from the mainstream media.

Imagine OCN getting talked about on fox news or something... we'd get like a million views in a day, totally kill the OCN servers. :|

It wouldn't be surprising if they said something like "Consumers are in a uproar over creative's driver support, forums around the net are raising up and signing petitions, etc, etc" I doubt they'd actually say any site names
