Uh oh. I just checked the official Matrix site. It seems to have been completely converted into a site for the upcoming Bluray release of the Ultimate Matrix Collection. I can't seem to find a way to access the old site, assuming it still exists.
I guess it's not a complete surprise. The site's been sitting in disrepair for a while now. Many of the videos and Quicktime VR files were missing. And the last Matrix-related news on the site was about the release of MxO, after that it was just some news about V for Vendetta. It's still sad, though. 
Edit: Well, good news is that I can still access the "missing comic", so something of the site still exists.

Huh.
Well, I hope they relaunch the site with maybe some new updates along with all the old stuff once the bluray is released, but I won't hold my breath =X

Let's hope that this is just a bad coincidence.

Well, after some searching, I've found that the site still seems to be there, but the usual URL doesn't go to it. If you want to view the website, this seems to work ...
http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.c...dex_sequel.html
Odd that the Bluray release site doesn't have a link to the official Matrix site. In the past, the DVD releases had their own sections on the site.

Ooh, and if anyone is interested, I found where the missing videos and Quicktime VR files went. Most of the content is on the official site, but several files were placed on a WB site called "progressive.warnerbros.com/thematrix/us/med". This site apparently doesn't exist anymore, but there's a similar site with the same URL, except that "progressive" is "pdl3". The files are located there. From what I can tell, the files were moved from "progressive" to "pdl3" a few years ago, and the official Matrix site wasn't updated with the new address.
So, if you're looking through the site, and a video or Quicktime VR file doesn't load, then right click on the web site and click "View Page Info" for the file's URL. If it's the "progressive" site, then just change it to "pdl3" and you'll be able to view the file.

Yeah. Thanks Othinn. That was my resource for all the Matrix comics, it would be a shame for it to disappear.

He said, "Maybe they're making a movie based off of MxO and moved the site to try and keep it a secret?" I believe that's what he said. It's in the context.. or maybe I've been following his posts for too long because they amuse me. <.<

Because they wanted to end it at 3 movies maybe? I really don't think they'd make a movie outta MxO, sorry.
Also, that'd be a really dumb reason to not update a site.
