Forbes'
Game On blog has revealed that Xbox Live Primetime, a series of scheduled programs where Xbox Live members can play against each other, won't make its originally November 19 (the day the New Xbox Experience will be rolled out) scheduled launch date. Instead, the Xbox Live Primetime has been pushed back to Spring, 2009. Microsoft told Forbes that the delay is necessary in order to ensure a smooth launch of the new user interface. Chris Morris adds:
That's too bad. Xbox Live Primetime is a provocative concept and could represent the gaming industry's first serious foray into the turf dominated by TV. By waiting until the spring, Microsoft's offering will likely go up against a more compelling lineup of television shows--and put its chances of instant success at risk
