New 003Rack Factory - PT9 crossgrade included?
I just spoke with a friend that just bought a new unopened 003Rack Factory from a authorized dealer that ships with PT8. Does any software upgrade come with that package - free PT9 crossgrade, PT 10 upgrade, etc.? Or is PT8 it and he would need to purchase any upgrade/crossgrade as an additional item? Anyone know or been down this road lately. Thanks.

Chuck,
Lately no but little over a year ago when I bought my 003r it came with PT8...PT9 however was out and I asked the same question i would like a free upgrade. I didn't qualify they said b/c AVID considers PT9 a seperate product (unlike 8) So you can pay for the discounted upgrade with your hardware serial number but you will not (at least i didn't) get any help getting to PT9 (at least if they can't get you to 10) my $0.02

I don't see anything in the Avid store except the $499 upgrade to 10, but just thought that maybe on registration, they would offer you some kind of upgrade deal or push out a crossgrade to 9. If no crossgrade/upgrade offers, I think my advice to this guy is going to be don't open the box and take it back.

He will not get any free upgrade from this. I believe it's mentioned in the PT10 FAQ.

Which leads me to my next question . . . Why is the Guitar Center still selling this? The poor boy's been robbed if he didn't get a deep discount. (IMHO) Truly caveat emptor.

Don't do it dude. I got burned (at this point, anyway) on a Crossgrade that stuck me with 9. Take it back take it back.

Guitar Center had nothing to do with this unless they specifically promised a free upgrade.
