    bowlux... The news of this update is what prompted me to finally buy the 360. I've been looking forward to it for months.

    "More delays" is kind of unnecessary... it's only been delayed the once, as I understand it.

    That said, it's sad, but glad they're taking the time to make it right. I'd say the same about Home, but when you get 6 different release dates, well...

    To clarify: The Fall update is still going down - with the new dashboard, etc. However, it's the PRIMETIME element that is being delayed.

    It's the Netflix connectivity that I'm really looking forward to.
