News in from this afternoon reveals to us that the Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise community site will officially launch this evening - with the full sequel due to hit the exclusively this Friday.

The new site won't be live until late tonight (European time), but it will allow players of the gardening title to share photos, Vision cards and more.

In related news, Xbox.com will hold a Viva Pinata-themed treasure hunt this Friday. The event will see Pinata egg icons spread across the site, which will reveal a creature when clicked. Hit the pinata and they'll give you a PDF which includes a Vision cam-bating card.

If you flash this card in front of your camera once printed, you'll get a free pinata for the new game, which is... clever?
