: I knew the Value was a bit different from the "normal" Live but I didn't think it was that different. The Platinum, MP3, and X-Gamer are all identical cards. Of course the new Live 5.1 is different yet again.
All the cards are identical. The Value, MP3, and X-Gamer come with different software bundles. The Original Live has a second 'daughter' board connected by a ribbon to bring the digital I/O out the back. The Platinum and new Platinum 5.1 have a 5 1/4" drive bay unit to bring the I/O to the front.
Again, they all have the same base card, only the more expensive units have extra hardware.
