Some more answers:

- German prices: Pro 275 EUR, Commercial EUR 70; this includes VAT.

- ent_save: directly saving entities is not planned - you could use the MDL SDK for that - but saving entity mesh modifications with game_save is planned.

- Sybex A7 Extra => A8: yes, the special price is EUR 40 incl. VAT. But please wait a couple days before ordering. There are a lot Sybex versions around and we're already working trough a large bunch of Pro/Com upgrades.

- A7 com => A8 pro: The normal upgrade A7 Com => A7 Pro is also still available at the moment and includes A8 Pro.
