Default New user how much PT 12 or PT 12 HD?

Hi Guys anybody knows how much is it to buy PT 12 or PT 12 HD (software only) for a new user?
There seem to be too many prices.

Peace

HD software is only available with HD hardware purchase

12 is not out yet (should be in the next 30 days), 11 is $700USD

If you buy PT11 with the support plan, you automatically receive upgrades to whatever new versions come out within a year.

I didn't realize 12 was coming so soon. I had it in my head that we would see it around Nov-Dec.

I say buy a new Eleven Rack for $600 or so which comes with PT 11, then add a $199 support plan when 12 comes out. It's roughly the same price as the software by itself. YMMV!

But the Eleven Rack does not come with a Support Plan READ the Avid FAQ section

http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...-Licensing-FAQ

please note that new Pro Tools (e.g. Eleven Rack) and Pro Tools | HD hardware system purchases do not come with an upgrade and support plan (do not include a free v12 Upgrade), but a separate plan can be purchased.

BUT the street price of PT 11 with a support plan and and a FREE PT 12 upgrade is only $300.00

Seems you might have missed that line of his post.

If you can point out some of these 300$ licenses with support plans, I would like to snag a few up considering I have never seen one around here. On that subject, does the FAQ address transferring support plans?? I know it says you cant with "upgrade" plans, whatever those are...

You can get Pro Tools 11 licenses for around $330 from some retailers, but I have yet to see them at that price with a support plan.
