Psxphile found this order form for DiC's "Sonic DVD." Looks like it's AoStH. However, we don't really know if this is "the" Sonic DVD that DiC has promoted. Some have said that that DVD was delayed until 2002.
Correction: This is actually a VHS, the DVD still isn't out. Thanks to Sonique for this info.
The Sonic Adventure 2 Homepage has been updated with a new race track called "EggRobo."

Pocket IGN has a report with details on how the Game Boy Advance and GameCube titles interact in terms of the Chao for Sonic Advance & Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
STC has been extended to #223, which WILL include all four parts of "the Evil Empire". Together with the three-part "Flickies Island" story this makes for essential STC reading!
The reprints unfortunately won't get as far as "Evil Empire" - considering that #222 will be the Christmas issue it will most probably include the Sonic story from #119 (which wasn't all that bad), the conclusion to "On the Run" (Knuckles and Chaotix, #124) and some festive Tails and Amy thrills.
The previous issue would presumably contain the final part of the "Flickies' Island" story - and considering that Robotnik is arrested at the end it would probably be a fair break-off point...
The #100 reprint, available this week I think (?), is issue 217.
Let's hope for a TPB reprint of Evil Empire and other subsequent greatness, eh...
This bit of info comes from Ed, reporting from the STC mailing list:
Sonic the Comic #222 will most likely be the final issue of the series and will be released in December 2001. It'll be the Christmas issue, but no word on the stories that'll actually be reprinted in this particular issue. The next/current issue is 100 reprinted. So in the six or seven remaining issues (Ed doesn't know where the comic has reached now), it could end even with a reprint of 'THE EVIL EMPIRE'.
I'm proud to announce that Sonic HQ got its 1 millionth visitor at 7:29 PM Pacific September 26th. It's been incredible to bring the site to you and we've got a ton of additional features planned. :)
The site has been through a ton of changes, starting as Zifei's Sonic Page on geocities, then getting a staff to become Sonic HQ, then moving to EmulationZone.org, and changing hands between Zifei, WB and myself, and now Lianne and I. I've met many friends and learned a ton personally by being here. We'd like to thank all our visitors for coming by and sticking with us. ^_^
Interesting news from Gaming Age:
Today, Sega of Japan and Bandai announced that Sega will begin bringing titles to the Wonderswan Color. The first title to hit Bandai's little handheld, will be a port of the arcade and Genesis classic, Golden Axe. Sega will be allowing Bandai to handle development of the game, but they will still play a part in it.
