Exclusive Information

Ganz uses Webkinz Newz to release information to Webkinz Players without having to announce it through Webkinz World. You can see pet virtual images, plushes, PSI's and PSF's around a month before they actually get added to Webkinz World. You can also get information about upcoming events such as Winterfest, Christmas or even Earth Day. Also during any major updates they will post information on what was updated in the "Release Notes" section. Basically Ganz communicates new and upcoming information through Webkinz Newz.
