Xbox removes Nov. 17 release date for Twitter/Facebook from UK site

[Dohc-WP]

There are few things we hate bearing more than bad news, but, well, it's kind of our job. So, here we go: Hey Champ. Remember how excited you got when you heard the UK Xbox site had listed a release date for the 360 Fall Dashboard Update, which will bring Facebook, Twitter and a whole slew of other services to the platform? Yeah, November 17 -- that's the one! Well, it looks like Microsoft has decided to strip the site of its specificity. Now, it simply reads "service launches Autumn 2009," just like all the other regional Xbox sites.

Aww, come on, Sport. Dry those tear-flooded eyes. The update may still come on Nov. 17, but now it'll be a big surprise. Don't you love surprises? Well, here's one: You're adopted. Makes that whole "disappearing release date" thing seem pretty trivial, doesn't it?

Oh, man, you're really crying now. Fine, we'll contact Microsoft to see what's going on. Just ... just don't tell your mother about the whole "adopted" thing.

Lol... what an awesomely random post.

For all I care tho, they should lose the whole Twitter/Facebook integration thing. I have an Xbox 360 because I want to play games, not to keep up with other friends on Twitter.

I'm with Zombie on this one. I hope M$ aren't barking up the wrong tree.

I just hope we get the update on the 17th. After the whole Forza 3 fiasco, we dont need more bad news.

Nah i think the social networking thing might make the 360 more appealing
