Originally scheduled to launch in November, Microsoft's virtual game show over Xbox Live has been bumped to spring.

Microsoft officials say the delay is necessary to ensure a glitch-free deployment of the new Xbox 360 menu system on Nov. 19, reports Forbes.

"By waiting until the spring, Microsoft's offering will likely go up against a more compelling lineup of television shows--and put its chances of instant success at risk," surmises Forbes' Chris Morris upon breaking the news.

Announced in July at E3, Xbox Live Primetime was described as a regularly scheduled game show where Xbox Live members could compete for real-world prizes. The mainstream-friendly idea was meant to compliment the new Xbox interface this fall, with the first "Primetime" show being an online version of NBC's "1 vs. 100."

If you, like many console owners, were wondering where the heck a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 version of Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO were hiding, you're not alone.

The good news is LucasArts and BioWare are "considering" bringing the MMO experience to consoles, which indirectly means the recently unveiled Star Wars title.

The bad news is the "confirmation" of console MMOs was just a blanket statement from Electronic Arts exec Frank Gibeau about future console MMO considerations (Note: EA owns BioWare).

"We're definitely looking at the opportunity to bring the MMO experience to console, without question," he said in an interview with Eurogamer. "We've got this product, and we've got Warhammer at play. So we're trying to look at the primary research required to understand how would you deploy it, what the client size looks like, how big is the back-end, what the play experience looks like... Once we've got some of those questions answered, we'll be able to decide which is the right play to go after."

When Gibeau was pressed further about Star Wars and Warhammer making an appearance on consoles, he said both titles were "under consideration." He offered no further details or confirmation beyond that, however.

As reported by GamePro, no release date was given for Star Wars: The Old Republic.8)
