Start the rumor mill, Sega has just announced a mystery briefing at E3 that could shock the world.

According to an e-mail sent out to various media outlets this morning, the announcement will take place at 10:00 AM PST, and last for approximately 30 minutes. Sega is calling it an "Explosive Announcement Event".

In addition to the big announcement, the mystery briefing will also unveil the latest titles from Sega. Many people have speculated that Sega will announce Shenmue III exclusively for the Xbox, but the sheer magnitude of this event seems to point to something bigger. Stay with us as we'll have coverage of the event from the E3 show floor. "

Must be a very important thing !! Maybe some sonic stuff ? ;)

Well, today has been a slow news day, so I figured I'd post the NPD numbers for Sonic Heroes.

Gamecube: 58,582

Xbox: 19,960

PS2: 52,699

Total: 131,241

Add that to the sales of the last two months (396,180), and the total sales of the US version of Sonic Heroes are: 527,421. Not bad for our cool blue heroe. We may see him it over a million by the end of the year if this keeps up.

A few days ago I sent my third email to CiTV. The email was to make sure episodes 10-13 would be shown unedited on the repeat run, as they all had nearly 2 mins cut out on their first showing. Unfortunately the reply I got says they will only be repeating the first 10. Here is the reply:

Last week I sent a second email to CiTV about the edits they have been making to Sonic X. As well pointing out how noticeable the edits are & asking if the repeats they are showing would be uncut, I also asked if they would be getting the second set of Sonic X episodes (The Chaos Emerald Saga). I recently received this reply:

"Drood Henge" is on Ebay with a starting price of $500.00. Bidding ends on April 21 at 8:41pm Eastern Time (or 5:41pm Pacific Time).

Drood Henge is the 2nd to last episode in 2nd Season Satam where the gang disovers the deep power stones. Cover has a few wrinkles from clip and storage - the rest of the pages are in perfect condition. Signed on various pages by Pat Allee & Ben Hurst.

TV series Sonic Underground is to be released over 10 DVDs, each with four episodes each on them. Volumes 1 and 2 are going to be released on the 31st of May.

Sonic X viewers in the UK:

As you may be aware a few weeks ago Citv started editing the Sonic X episodes it shows: (these edits started at episode 10: "Fight! Sonic's Baseball Team"). The edits mean that as much as 2 mins is missing from the episodes (on top of the edits made by 4 kids entertainment). The edits can also be very noticeable as it will suddenly jump from one scene to another. I (and I presume many of you) are concerned about this, so 2 weeks ago I sent an email to Citv asking them not to edit the episodes – and a few days ago I got a reply.
