Default Tdm hd3 to hdx upgrade when you've already bought a new interface!

Avid (apart from the joke $999 Hd upgrade cost) - I was a loyal customer who works from home and bought a brand new Omni last December - I run an HD3 PCI-E system and may want to upgrade to the HDX card as I'm looking to the future .....
The only thing I see about upgrades is it comes with either an Omni or 8 I/O.
I've got what I need interface wise for what I do so I don't need another 'new' interface - Please tell me that you are offering good value upgrades for PT10 and HDX cards only - if not then all I can say is you will lose another (was) loyal customer.
It's not my fault the HDX card did not come out when you brought out the new interfaces and to punish me in this way would be plain wrong. If you really think I'm going to sell my new new interface for half the price I paid for it just to get the same again so I can get the new HDX card and PT10 you are wrong.
Hopefully you will see sense or I have misread something.
As fot PT10 pricing - obsurd and beyond belief - a professional product yes,but in this climate people want value for money - you of all companies should know how many work from home now and studios around the world are closing ...... - Maybe you should introduce more regular updates and charge much less - that way people don't get it hard in one hit.....
Thanks
Karl

I would really like to know the answer to this too. I just bought a brand new HD IO 16 Analog back in July, and I have no need for another interface when I already own the flagship model. Please advise Avid.

Where you can see that? I haven't spotted any info about hardware upgrades (and pricing) yet. Thanks!

The HDX card must be included in the current 7/8/9HD to 10HD upgrade prices don´t you think
That will explain everything !

Is there any place it says clearly how much the HDX card is by itself? And whether or not you can use it with blue HD interfaces?

They are not selling the cards by themselves, only with the interfaces.

My Sweetwater rep said that may change, but I don't know how long that might be.

It'll change real fast when they see no one is jumping on buying these things...

Update:

It appears that if you are doing a trade-up offer, you may not be forced to get an interface, but I'm not sure.

I'm going by what was said by the Avid guys in the live chat from AES, which you can review here:

http://apps.avid.com/aes2011-live/


They mention the upgrade plan, then say you can do an even swap of your blue interface for an Omni, or the blue interface and $1000 for the HD IO (8 x 8, I think).

So the implication there is with the trade up, the interface deal is optional. It's either that, or they force you to trade in your interface when you trade in your cards, which doesn't really make sense.

I know some of you have the new HD interfaces, but I was just pointing that out to give some idea of what might be going on.

I did talk to my Sweetwater rep last night, and they had some info on this, but not all the details yet. You may want to check with your dealer about some of this.
