Upgrade from 001 to TDM?

[Walling1]

Have any prices been set for the upgrade from 001 / PTLE to a TDM / PT5?

I've been waiting for this answer myself.

No upgrade prices have been set,(haven't even shipped the product yet) but the _general_ upgrade policy in the past has been to offer an upgrade to new hardware with a discount of the current list price of the lower priced unit off of the current list price of the higher level of hardware.
I say general, because there have been many different upgrades offered over the years. For instance, the current AMIII upgrade to Pro Tools 24 is $5400, $595 off of the suggested list price of $5995. The AMIII card comes in the ToolBox bundle for a list of $545. When the AMIII card was only available at the $795 list price, the upgrade was $5200 I believe.
Hardware upgrades are available through your Pro Tools TDM dealer, so they can discount the suggested list price of upgrades in the same way that they often discount a product below the suggested list price.
