By the time the Diamond products ship in October Creative will be ready to drop prices and offer upgraded versions of SB Live (with perhaps more hardware streams and AC-3). Anyway, SB Live is selling for about $160 at some of the on-line sites I see. The margins on this thing are HUGE basically because Creative's been working on this for two years, and as a matter of policy they expense immediately all R&D costs. So all it costs to make the card now is just manufacturing. I estimate gross margins around 70%-80% meaning halving the price will still give 20-30%.
