Ok so I was thinking of buying a new soundcard, creative seams to be the best for gamers so I looked at there best card. Creative Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series. It has a steep price in stores at around 180$.
The next step down is the Soundblaster X-FI Titanium, it's retail at around 85$ at local microcenter. I thought you know what that Fatal1ty card must be better, it's bigger, more expensive, ect...
WRONG!!!!!
Look at the specs of BOTH cards! They are exactly the SAME but the Fatal1ty one cost like 100$ more!

So looks like your paying 100$ more on average for a card that does the exact same thing except it takes more room, has a Fatal1ty logo and please don't tell me that's a heatsink, like soundcards create a lot of heat right. That's almost as bad as bigfoot networks trying to justifies the 200$ price tag on there "Gaming NIC" that has a big K shaped heatsink.
Don't buy unless you want to waste your money! I feel bad for the people who feel for that gimmick.
Lesson learned, don't buy Fatal1ty gear at all. OCZ Makes "Fatal1ty" PSU's that cost like 80$ more for the same 700W PSU.
