Creative's $60 External USB 5.1 Surround Sound Solution

For $60, Creative's new Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 offers you an external audio card that, with a simple pass of a USB cord and an optical output plug, hook up your PC to a home theater system with all the gloriousness of DTS and Dolby Digital EX.
Toss in the X-Fi CMSS-3D headphone technology and EAX ADVANCED HD technology for gaming and this baby is easy to recommend to anyone with a PC near a 5.1 speaker setup, even if you've already got a sound card. 'Creative ALchemy' even restores surround sound for Vista gamers, although as with all things Vista I'll believe it when I hear it in person.
Just make sure you've got USB 2.0, otherwise you're just wasting time and money.

If it ain't broke... cease production. Right?
