I'd get the X-FI due to its a better card and the the ZS PLAT. the you're paying more for the front drive panel that you'll almost never use.

x fi is much better believe me. like storm said, it has more of a meaty processor and memory and provides great 3D and surround sound effects....just look at all those reviews also!

Why pay the same price for a product 3 years old when you can get the newer technology instead.
