UPDATE: The new dashboard is rolling out now. Go nuts!
--
If everything went according to schedule, the new Xbox 360 dashboard would be live...but it’s not.
It’s unclear what’s caused the hiccup, but Xbox evangelist Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb is providing updates as they come in via Twitter, and said there would be an official update later in the day.
“The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today,” said Hyrb.



















Waiting.
They decided it didn't have enough ads
Was actually looking forward to this.
Being in the beta and having a homepage that doesn't default to a useless page full of ads has been the best thing to happen to my Xbox in a long time. Compared to that screw all the other features.

It's Hryb.
A news story about a tweet. That's just groovy.
This is totally unrelated to anything, but did 'Major Nelson' come from I Dream of Jeannie?

Seriously though, does Patrick intentionally make at least one semi-major typo per post?
@ReyGitano: Agreed.... As a dude that lost all his data in the past I'm also loving the cloud saves and some of the apps will be useful whenever they come out.
I didn't even know it was happening today....I thought it was this fall /sarcasm
Oh well...

Yes. If Wikipedia is to be believed.
Why can't anyone spell his name correctly?
It took 2 hours for any update from Microsoft, via Major Nelson, that the delay would be later today. Even now they can't give us any details, why the delay, time frame for the update, anything.
Microsoft isn't great at getting all the information out. Even the end of Xbox live on the OG Xbox was muddled and misinformed.
Ha, I use that same "Holiday 2008" theme.
At least the apps that were meant to be released today have been so can continue to enjoy it via the preview (LoveFilm app).
GOD DAMNIT
