3DHardware.net heeft een preview gepost van de SBLive! Platinum. De Platinum is de opvolger van de huidige SBLive!, maar is wat betreft de hardware niet verandert:
With the original name still intact, the Platinum soundcard will NOT be different to the original SB Live! in terms of new on-board hardware features. We were all disappointed by this, but there were never any intentions of releasing a totally new piece of hardware. Creative Labs have shown tremendous dedication to the EMU10K1 chip found on the SB Live! family of soundcards, and have constantly delivered new features and enhanced old ones.
Wel nieuw is de Live!Drive II, een 5,25" frontpanel waarop zich alle I/O connectors bevinden. Verder zijn er veel software verbeteringen. Meer daarover lees je in de preview.
