Yesterday Stephen Reid announced that the Press Embargo would be lifting today. This isn't quite as exciting as lifting the NDA, but it's still pretty awesome. There is already a thread on the official forums chronicling the information that is being released.
So far I haven't noticed any news relating specifically to vanity pets, and honestly I don't expect any since it is such a niche topic. However if I find any I'll be sure to update the blog. If any of you notice any that I've missed, I'd greatly appreciate you letting me know. =]
