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.
A new Sonic Advance 3 video is up at THQ.co.uk. Like the first, you need to sign up to view it, but I suspect a site like IGN will have it themselves in a few days if you don't want to.
(SHQ note: The 5 minute difference in the schedule does not necessarily mean that the episodes are uncut.)
It appears that CiTV have seen the errors of their ways, and are due to repeat the first episodes of Sonic X again, but in their entirity.

No Sonic at E3?
As the title clearly states, Sega will be presenting six brand new, currently unknown games at this years E3. It has been confirmed from the top business eggheads at Sega that a new Sonic game will not be among them. Quite a change from last years "Sonic Year" proclamation from Sega. It is rumored that at least some of these games will be the first Sega games to come to the upcoming PSP and Nintendo DS handhelds, but this has not been confirmed. "You'll have to wait and see." said the spokesperson. So, in other words, we'll have more info from Sega when E3 starts.
Sega has confirmed, however, that they will be showing no Sammy games at E3. "There are currently no plans for Sammy Japan titles at E3," said the spokesperson. "It's mainly an SOE and SOA show. Sega Japan is distributing for Sammy, and at the moment we're only distributing for Sammy in Europe."
The lack of a 3D Sonic game is most certainly not because of poor sales on Sonic Heroes part, however. The game has managed to move 400,000 units in it's first two months on all three platforms in the United States, and the game has retained itself in the top four in the UK since it's launch on January 27th. This definetly equals a lot of incoming income on Sega's part.
We will have more info when DcD goes to E3, which starts next month.
Looks like we may not be seeing a new 3D Sonic game this year. Oh well, at least we're getting Sonic Advance 3, eh?

Acid and VCP have found more info on the new season of Sonic X.
Acid:
I think Vec seems to be mistaken. It's not Sonic who would be actually fighting with Chris and company but Sonic's grandson Speedster who would be carrying on the torch since Sonic will be too old to fight. All the other furries' grandchildren will also aid in the fight and have wacky adventures together.
I also think they are renaming it Sonic X: Next Generation.
VCP:
And you both forgot to mention one of the new villains, Dr Eggkid, Eggman's smart-mouthed son whose number one goal in life is to prove himself as the "coolest kid in the universe", which is why he has such a great rivalry with Speedster and Flyboy (Tails' three tailed grandson).

SA:DX isn't the only Sonic Adventure game headed for PC. Sega is porting SA2:B (again). This version will support online features like its Dreamcast counterpart, and new character skins will be released online.
A few details about the new 26 episodes of Sonic X have been revealed. Eggman has used Chaos Control again. Sonic tagged along, but this time he has none of his friends to help. It's up to Chris, Danny, Frances, and some of their new friends to help Sonic oppose Eggman's schemes for world conquest. New characters include Maynard, a small boy with an incredible talent for machines, and Danny's sister, Vanessa, who claims she's the key to stopping Eggman.
