XBLA: Xbox Live Primetime Delayed Until Spring In America
The Xbox Live Primetime Experience, initially set for release with the new Dashboard update, has now been delayed.
Forbes have revealed that Primetime games such as 1 Vs.100 will not be available until Spring 2009 in North America.
"Microsoft has delayed the launch of "Xbox Live Primetime," its programmed series of interactive games with real-world prizes, until the spring. Microsoft managers say the delay is necessary in order to ensure a smooth launch of the system's new user interface (or, if you prefer the terminology of Microsoft's PR department, the "new Xbox experience"). ""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."
A shame. Hopefully they can expand the amount of territories it will be available for before release, too.
