Earlier in the year, Microsoft took the wraps off Xbox Live Primetime, a series of "game shows" for Xbox Live that would take advantage of the console's new dashboard and avatars. It was supposed to launch on November 19, along with the rest of the "New Xbox Experience". Well, it's not. Microsoft have just announced that Primetime is being held back until Spring 2009, so as "to ensure a smooth launch of the system's new user interface". Can't really say that's much of a personal disappointment, though it does make you wonder if Microsoft are having a little trouble ironing the kinks out of the new dash ahead of its release.
