Audigy2-ZS vs Platinum

[umop]

Ok, so I'm building a new computer that is pretty nice. Should I pay an extra $60 or so just to have the "Platinum" name behind the Sound Blaster Audigy 2-ZS? What features, if any, does the Platinum edition offer? I know it comes with a bay drive, but will I notice an increase in sound quality?

no, pretty mcu hthe extra money is for the bay drive, which, imo, is pretty cool

I see, thanks for fillin me in. I guess I'll stick with the non platinum then since the speakers I'm getting are going to come with a remote anyway. No need for the bay drive, so I'll use the saved $ to maybe get the collector's edition of HL2 instead of the standard
