A three letter .COM domain?!? Wow... Didn't know any of those were still available. That or someone threw around some serious money to buy it.

ETA: The login and registration pages accessible to the top right are almost identical in design to Flynn Lives.

They even have similar achievements. Case in point:

The similarity is too close to deny. Pages are even made in .NET.

That compounded with the probable cost of the three letter domain... could this be another 42E project?

The address listed on the WRB page - 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521 - is Walt Disney corporate headquarters.

From the codes in the above two links, there are at least two achievements you can get: blue and red.

We need to find the other two codes.

Also note the image filenames... Seems like they've learned. Very Happy

Well either both groups are using the same designer or Disney Interactive did the original design of Flynn Lives themselves.

Maybe 42E taught Disney too much and they're doing this on their own? Wink

Either way, to have that level of framework on the back end I'm guessing there's a lot more to this.

As far as Facebook integration... It launched two to three days ago, so maybe it's not at that point yet.

Based on the codes found in the articles here are the achievements possible.

Hint: Check the comments section. Smile

/EDIT: Wait...I could swear I saw something about "waking the sleeping giant" on one of the achievements. Hm...

The yellow one was "waking the sleeping giant".

We're missing green then.

ETA: Note that, when you fill out your profile, it asks you if you're OK with receiving stuff IN THE MAIL.

So we are still in need of more codes to power on the handheld device.
