Difference in Audigy 2?

What is the main difference between these Audigy 2 cards?

http://www.newegg.com/app/SearchProd...bmit=Go&DEPA=0

Why are some so much more expensive than the others. Could somebody breakdown why some have "special features" while others dont.

Thanks.

link doesn't appear to be working, so which are you wondering about. Theres the ZS, ZS Platinum, ZS Platinum Pro, ZS Gamer (actually a package, not a card), and I think there's some ZS Budget or something

Well I know the gamer one just comes with pc games and there is no difference in the card then the regular ZS. As far as the other ones, it seemed like they came with extra stuff like for hooking up your amp for your guitar and other stuff to your sound card but I can't remember.

okay umm the normal ZS is basically a nice sound card with a couple cheap games, and the gamer is the same card with a lot of games. THe Platinum includes an input output box that goes in a CDROM slot in your tower and comes with audio editing software and the cheap games, the platinum Pro comes with an external input/output box, comes with only the audio editing software. And they both have a couple of aditional features over the normal ZS. I don't know about the ZS budget or wathever it is, if it exists. Anyways, they all will give you relatively the same audio quality, just with less features.
