One of the coolest additions to the franchise is the addition of Pinata Vision. By scanning barcoded cards with the Xbox Live Vision camera, you can import new Pinata variations into the game. We received a special pack of cards that included a yeti, moose, monkey, tortoise, parrot, cat, warthog, gorilla, camel, and crab, among others. Rare are still considering how to distribute the cards, but said they might appear as a promotion on game magazine covers, and game sites. They illustrated this by showing us a fullscreen JPEG image of a pinata that had been saved to a PDA. The PDA screen was then scanned by the camera, just like a tangible card.
