You Oughtta Audigy
No matter how you try, you can't shake those memories of this past December 16th. You wake up sweating, visions of the Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX Sound Card dancing grotesquely through your fevered mind. At work, you zombie-walk through the office corridors, taunted by memories of your indecision on that fateful day. Driving home, your mind wanders back to that crushing moment when you finally decided to seize the Audigy - only to discover you were seconds too late. Midnight had passed, and some stupid watch grinned at you from the Woot homepage like a lunatic skeleton. Every time you relive it, your heart aches anew.
Why? Why does the loss haunt you so? It's not like the Audigy 2 Platinum eX is the finest sound card on the market. Honestly, it's a generation or two past its prime. But you can't resist its capability to record DVD-Audio-quality music at 24-bit/96kHz in 5.1 channels with support for ASIO 2.0. You yearn for its 106dB SNR ratings, its immersive 6.1 THX-certified surround sound, the convenience and joy of the easy-to-connect Audigy External I/O Module. You feel it all slipping through your arms a million times, powerless against the pain.
But today, blessed beautiful today, comes the do-over you've dreamed of. Again, in all its glory, the Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX Sound Card stands before you. Here it is, the one that you love, asking for another day. And it's returning chastened, offering itself to you for a full ten dollars cheaper than that glum day six weeks ago.
Go to it now. Take it in your arms. Make the most of your second chance. And understand: the one that you love loves you in so many ways.
