Slight price difference, I know. But I don't have any of the games bundled with the X-gamer. It really comes down to the actual card. It seems the Fortissimo II is better and the SBlive! has too many compatibility issues, but I like those games...

Don't buy hardware based on game bundles. Get hardware for performance, compatability & price.<br>

I like SBLive series and Hercules Game Theater XP.<br>

The reason I mention the X-gamer instead of the value, is because I don't have any of the games that come with it, and the price of the games basically pays for the card. I've been considering the Phillips Acoustic Edge more though, many reviews say it's better in sounds quality. The main reason I hesitate on the SBlive! is I hear of loads of problems with it.
