Just buy a new one on Ebay. Saw one for $379 w/ free shipping.

I stopped using ProTools years ago because of what Avid charges for software updates. Life is great w/o PT!! That really sucks what they're charging you for your 11r repair.

FYI, Avid bought Digi in '96.

It was 1995/96 that Avid bought Digidesign. But they kept the brand "Digidesign". 2010 "Digidesign" became "Avid".

I don't get this attitude.
Sure, it's a bummer if your warranty just ran out - but it just is. Deal with it. The line has to be drawn somewhere, right? And if everybody would get a freeby just because they ran out only a month ago - what's the point of a limited warranty then?
Grow up and cope. You can be angry - I would be. Not at Avid, though, but at tough luck.
