It's all sounding, and looking, very good JB.
My only concern is with having the bulk of the newletter being a Review or blog. That kind of goes against the whole 'Newsletter' thing.
Personally, I'd think that the main bulk of the letter should be about the past week, e.g stats, new releases, updates on the tournaments being played, member's milestones etc.
That way it would actually be News
But that's just what I think...
