When the new Xbox Experience launches on Nov. 19, it will not have the previously promised Xbox  Live Primetime which was to make use of the new avatar system in games like 1 vs 100.  Microsoft is now planning to release it in the spring of 2009.  A Microsoft representative had this to say according to IGN.com:

"The New Xbox Experience is our most ambitious undertaking and a platform that will grow over time, with the addition of new and exciting features for you, your friends and your family. Consumers will see a groundbreaking experience starting this November, with a new, easy-to-navigate interface; access to a vast catalog of arcade games; and the addition of 12,000 movies and TV episodes through Netflix, creating a full entertainment library of more than 30,000 HD and standard movies and TV episodes available on Xbox 360. Building on this experience, Primetime will get its own spotlight in the Spring of 2009."
