Microsoft will take old Surface tablets in trade toward the purchase of a new Surface 3, which went on sale today.

The Surface 3, which the company unveiled five weeks ago, starts at $499 with 64GB of storage space, and climbs to $599 with 128GB. Those prices do not include the $130 Surface 3 Type Cover, the optional keyboard necessary to turn the tablet into the 2-in-1 Microsoft aggressively advertises. A pen for the Surface 3 runs an additional $50.

U.S. owners of older Surface devices — the original 2012 Surface RT and 2013’s Surface 2 — can trade them in for credit toward the purchase of the new Surface 3.
