Um, you do realize that video was a real world test showing the iPhone beating the Samsung by 16 seconds right? It wasn't a Benchmark.

You can get it on retailmenot: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/us.creative.com Just let it open the site, add the item to your cart, and you will see the discount at checkout.

You just saved me $120. THANKS!. I already had it ordered from Amazon for $399 but I went ahead and ordered another from Creative directly. I will just return the Amazon one and pocket the extra $120.

Cool, thanks! I will have to see if that coupon still works.

DarkAngel, where did you read that the new drivers fix the random speaker reassignment? Honestly, I can't find any patch notes other than "WHQL certified". If it did fix that, I might have to put my card back in as it was worthless while that was happening.

I am dumping my ZxR card for this as I have been having trouble ever since upgrading to 4K with the ZxR swapping the audio channels all around during a game session. It is particularly bad with The Crew. I have two 780 Classifieds running at 100% to output about 40 to 50 FPS which might be...

Sometimes my screen doesn't come back i.e. black screen for up to a minute after installing the driver. If you wait long enough, it usually will come back.

Thanks Ashley. I got my card yesterday, and I can't find a revision or batch or date anywhere on this thing. The box mentions Rev-A, but I think that is just for the box design. I am thinking I will have to contact Creative as well with my serial # so they can confirm mine came from a "good"...

I had the Phoebus, currently a Zx, and my ZxR should arrive today (just waiting on the UPS man!) (I love sound cards, and after many years of a long dry-spell (and no, I am not counting the Recon3D as a viable option), I am thoroughly enjoying all the new cards coming out). The Phoebus HW was...

Since the first thread was locked down due to an unfortunate troll (and the fact that too many of us fed him), can we please try this again as I would really like more information from AshleyG on this since I am receiving a ZxR today. AshleyG, what H/W version of card do you have? Is there a...

I was able to snag one at 11:30 last night. ;). After I did, the site said there were 4 left. Now I need to sell my Zx on ebay.

Not really sure you would have wanted one though. Obviously they either found something wrong with the cards after that that has delayed further production, or there is just a component shortage. I mean, the main Soundcore chip is much less complex than even the X-FI chip, so it isn't like the...

I am just wondering where the hell the ZxR cards are actually at! Other than the 7 or so that shipped out the last week of December, they haven't gotten anymore in.

Don't know, but it was a good video. Who buys a new card for personal use and then takes the EMI shield off of it just for a review. Cool.

There were about 5 sold from the Creative store last week. I believe I gave the link earlier in this thread. (or maybe it was in another thread) On phone browser right now so not scrolling up.

Now I am jealous. I will probably get the ZxR and sell my Zx at some point in the future. I would like to read some professional reviews though comparing all 3 cards in the lineup.

Limited run of ZxR's was available today (about 5). One left as of this moment: http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-ZxR-PCIe-Sound/M/B00AQ5PK6I.htm

I have had better luck getting support on Creative's forums than ASUS - but more importantly, I haven't even NEEDED it for their most recent card - and that is running on Windows 8. ASUS has ONE guy that sometimes answers questions named Raja. The amount of customer traffic is also pretty much...

Open the case and move around the cord going to the front bay (assuming you have the model that has that). I actually did that with the computer still on and was able to move it to a spot that didn't generate any noise. That is the main problem with the front bay, the cord has to run through the...

The control box is very solidly built. Not sure it justifies a $50 premium, but I prefer being able to easily access the headphones and microphone plugs, and going through the front panel is NOT the way to go if you want to maintain your signal to noise ratio. That is the reason I went with the...

I love soundcards in general, and after a many year dry spell we have had without new hardware (I literally had the X-FI Elite pro for 7 years and kept moving it from system to system), I jumped at the chance to try the Creative Recon 3D (SW was good, HW was crap), then the ASUS Xonar Phoebus...

Actually, it was because of the poor SW quality of the ASUS Xonar Phoebus card that I am switching back to Creative after swearing them off when they released the Recon crap (my X-Fi Elite pro had just died after 7 years of faithful service, and that was an excellent card). The HW of the ASUS...

Guys, I got my hands on one of the Sound Blaster ZX's and have to say it is a lot better than the failed attempt of a Recon 3D card (which I made the mistake of buying). The SW is also considerably better than the ASUS Xonar Phoebus which I also have (and will be selling on ebay shortly). The...

And this folks, is exactly what I was talking about with Steve's apparently fatal butthurt. Since this will obviously be my last post after 8 years of being a member here, I want to go out saying I ordered Steve the HUMONGOUS Costco Triple pack of preparation-H and sent it to the Hard-OCP...

Its pretty obvious Steve is the butthurt individual since he CONSTANTLY finds the need to create these threads, over, and over, and over again. Therapy might be in order - or at least a Costco-sized tube of Preparation-H

Speculation and hearsay. Boy is it going to let a lot of steam out of the hype when Microsoft announces the cost at $299 or $399.

Where have we heard this counter-argument before? Oh I know. When the same crap happened to Apple and we used it, only to be told by the Android zealots on here that Apple is responsible for who they outsource to. I guess the same doesn't apply to Samsung. Serious double standard going on here.

Exactly, isn't this the exact thing the Apple bashers hate, overpriced, inferior tech? Who the hell would pay $300 for this garbage?

It's this type of stuff that will get me over my "hell no" stance of switching to Windows 8 and at least give it a try for $40.

Would it not be just as good on Android?

Wow, I find the excuses on here amazing. Have you even tried the game? It is very good and one of the top sellers on the IOS platform.

Actually, this game is definitely worth its dollar. It is a lot of fun with great graphics.

Skirbbel, awesome post. I made a couple of changes above to see if it has the same effect for my Android loving, Apple hating friends on here!

Don't try to use logic with the haters. It is above them. Besides, the sooner they die of their impending heart attack from needless self-inflicted stress, the better off we will all be.

That's right, and don't you forget it. I can remember being in apple stores many times when some Android using basement dwelling drug pushing reject wearing jeans and a tank top came in. He was quickly escorted out. Whew!

The colon is the one the shit comes out of.

Now you see, Apple boxes don't have that problem. Another crap Google product. (Just kidding!!!!!)

Exactly. To put it even more succintly, if your a business and your still running Windows XP :eek:

Steve, you now have my personally acceptance to bash apple as many times as you want, as long as you PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't post anymore Boober songs. Oh, and Fuck yo couch.

I had an Android user actually stab me.
