With the release of Prince of Persia merely weeks away, Ubisoft has revealed the minimum system requirements for the PC version. No recommended specs were provided but, according to the Ubisoft community developer who posted them on the game's official forums, "basically anything you have over this will run it nicely."

Eurogamer reports that the PC release date has slipped to December 12th but that might just be in Europe. Until Ubisoft says otherwise, expect the PC version to be released alongside the 360 and PS3 versions on December 2nd.
Update: Amazon now lists the release date for the PC version to be December 9th in the United States. The fact that there's exactly a one week delay in both the US and Europe but different dates makes me think this might be due to piracy concerns rather than some actual technical issue.
