Xbox Primetime Won’t Be Ready for NXE Launch

It’s been a rough spot for Microsoft’s upcoming dashboard upgrade. First came the word that the part of its Netflix integration which would allow users to stream movies between consoles was going MIA. Now Microsoft is saying that the Xbox LIVE Primetime feature, which is comprised of regularly scheduled game shows Xbox LIVE members can compete in to win physical prizes, will be yet another feature of the “New Xbox Experience” that won’t make the cut when the new dashboard goes live on November 19th. Instead, the Xbox LIVE Primetime channel has be rescheduled for a Spring 2009 launch. The delay, according to Microsoft product managers, is necessary to iron out problems with the user interface.
