Assassin's Creed website up and killing, er, running

The no-longer-PS3-exclusive Assassin's Creed has launched their official website and boy, oh boy is it neat. There's even a gateway where you have to enter your age to be allowed inside! Sometimes we wonder how many people are honest with those things... anyway, what's inside, you ask? After an interesting intro, you're presented with a list of things to do. Let's go over them:- Most obvious is the giant "pre-order now" button on the left. Anyone?
- "Game Info" gives you a look into the scenario of the game -- the third Crusade! Also, you can check out key features of the game.
- "Media" lets you check out some screenshots, concept art, videos, and developer diaries
- You can "Download" wallpapers, screensavers, icons, etc...
- There's also a "Community," a "Forum," and a place where you can "Register" for more info.
It's a cool site, to be sure, but isn't this just a Prince of Persia in disguise? And not really in Persia? We hypothesized a long, long time ago, but it's seeming more likely that this game is more or less a test of the next-gen engine that will house the next-gen PoP title -- and Assassin's Creed seems like a great intro to the engine.

if this game is gonna be as good as they say it is, than of course it's not going to be exclusive. honestly if u made a terrfic videogame would u want it to be sold for only one system, of course u wouldn't.
i dont see what the big deal is anyway, it's still gonna be just as awesome for the ps3, even if its available for the xbox or pc or w/e.
