Has anyone heard anything about the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum card?

Right now I have the Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 card and Klipsch speakers.

I have been trying to find a review on the Audigy card but have had no luck. Creative is selling the card right now on their website and its due to be in the stores next week. I would like to have a few reviews before I get the card.

I read a little bit of information on 3dsound.com and it sounds like its an upgrade but also a downgrade to the card that I have now. I really don't understand what they are talking about so if anyone can shed a light on the pros and cons of upgrading to this card I would greatly appreciate it appreciate it.

I mainly use my system for fun games, watch TV or DVD's and listen to music. And I have the hardware to handle the new card if is a better card.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all that have been affected by this great tragedy
