Microsoft on Primetime delay: November 19 is only the beginning

Microsoft has responded to the Xbox Live Primetime delay published earlier today by saying that the release date of “November 19 is only the beginning!” and that there is there is plenty more to come as far as New Xbox Experience is concerned.

“The New Xbox Experience is a long term initiative and what we are rolling out on November 19th is only the beginning!” a Microsoft spokesperson told videogaming247.

“With the New Xbox Experience we will have the flexibility to roll out features and updates dynamically, unlike in the past where we were on a more biannual schedule. So, there are a lot more exciting features, including Primetime that will be coming soon.”

if that means more ‘enforced’ and longer updates appearing more regularly, meh. I almost liked it being a bi-annual update thing unlike the hideousness that is the PS3 firmware lols.

Oh good, now they can brick your machine just as often as Sony can!

Umm… I thought they can add new features without making actual firmware updates since NXE is partly online-based, so called “Cloud Operating System”.

Primetime delay isn’t big deal for me since they didn’t plan to release it here anyway.
