It's the same concept as when you buy an LE interface (003, mbox 2) new from a dealer, but it's been sitting on the shelf for a while and has 7.3 in the box. You're entitled to PT8 for free.

I mention this because if you can find Version 1 left in any stores, it's usually on a clearance price like $295, $265, etc. So it's a good deal if you can find it.

Yea, same as PT 8. I got 7.4 after 8 and got free upgrade.
