I think you're looking at it backwards. If Pro Tools didn't come with Eleven Rack, you would have to pay $699 more for Pro Tools. Instead, we include it and subsidize the software cost with the hardware, which, by the way, Avid and Digidesign have been doing forever.

That does not mean the upgrade to a new version of software has less value, it means your way into to the system is advantaged, price-wise.
