There seems to be alot of misinformation out there regarding the HD Native system now that HDX has been introduced. HD Native is very much a current product and is not being discontinued any time soon. HDX is only replacing the old TDM systems to pave the way for the 64 bit release of ProTools. The FPGA technology that is present on the HDX cards has been based off of HD Native, so I think you'll see it being relevant for quite awhile.

The trade in deal from HD Native to HDX is simply there to give HD Native users the option to move into the DSP system if they need it. However, I'm sure most users don't need it and will be more than fine with the Native system and a fast computer. Like someone has already mentioned, the new hardware seems to be aimed at the post crowd.
