Primetime Delayed on NXE – Does It Matter?

As you may know, one of the New Xbox Experience’s features is Primetime, which will feature things like 1 Vs. 100 and Deal or No Deal. This service, according to Microsoft, will not start on the NXE launch on November 19.
Microsoft has shrugged at this and stated:
“The New Xbox Experience is a long term initiative and what we are rolling out on November 19th is only the beginning! 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.”
Personally, I’m not too upset. For me, the biggest part of the NXE is burning discs to the hard drive. One game that uses avatars, Scene It! Box Office Smash, will be released well before the update (it has premade avatars in the meantime).
How disappointing is the lack of a day 1 Primetime for you? Let us know.
