Ha!

I fart in Creative Labs general direction!

$150 for JUST an external USB sound card? Sure, that's cheaper than the near $200 Soundblaster Audigy Platinum... but where are the 5.1 speakers???

Not only is it an external USB sound card that supports the Dolby 5.1 standard with all of the input and output jacks that one should expect from a 5.1 sound card, but it also includes 5 satellite speakers and a 5" subwoofer and a remote!

Here's the best part... It all sells for under $200!
