Audigy sound cards

[B_MAN]

right now im using a crappy old 16 bit sb live card
lookin to upgrade to audigy
i was wondering what the difference between the audigy ES and LS (not the audigy 2's)
theyre both 24 bit, but why is one more than the other
creative only has info on their site about the LS
the LS is like 30-40 bucks more (cdn)
is it worth spending a little more
all im doing is listening to mp3's, playing games and watching dvd's
no composing, editing or anything
thanks for the help

I havn't seen the specs on either of them, but usually a difference like that will account for tiny little differences in the specs, maybe more and different ports on the more expensive one, or just different software bundled.

If your just going for playing games, mp3's, and watching movies then usually the cheaper one is the better buy.

But like I said I don't know the specs on either of them, this is just how it usually is when buying hardware.

Looks like the only difference is that the LS version has a copy of Hitman: Contracts included.
