Searching on EB games doesn't show any results. The Disney site doesn't mention anything about price.

Something irks me about the whole thing. I guess it's smart to ride the Disney POTC wave and milk it for all they got, but I'd rather have them use their resources for a 3D (non flash) MMO throughout all the parks, where you can ride the rides and other stuff. They need to figure out how to make a game out of that

If POTC MMO is free, I'd try it though.

I wonder how it will compete with Pirates of the Burning Sea.

As to a virtual Disney Park.. I think Disney needs a presence in Second Life...

Ugh. Puh-leeze. Second Life is one of the buggiest, weirdest, and most boring online experiences I've ever had. That, and I'm pretty sure the denizens of SL would just love one more big corporate presence like Disney.

That, and there's no way WDC could control what goes on.

Yes, it/they will be free. Sounds like Disney is *considering* basically having a MMO RPG for all of their movies, old and new, allowing fans to more fully explore the milieu of the films.

I bet Walt would have done it, too...
