360 Facebook, Twitter launch date unclear

Previously reported November 17th date changed to ‘Autumn 2009’ on Xbox website

The launch of the upcoming Facebook and Twitter integration with Xbox Live has been called into question after a date was seemingly announced this weekend.
 
VG247 reported on Saturday that Microsoft’s official UK Xbox website had announced Facebook, Twitter and LastFM would be coming to Xbox 360 on November 17th.
 
However, the site currently shows a splash page that states the services are “coming soon”, giving the date as Autumn 2009.
 
Microsoft has told MCV: "We are still to announce a date for this. Anything that is posted online is currently rumour and speculation."

Strange. I saw the date on there as well on Sat. Why would MS put up a date and then say it's "rumor and/or speculation"?

Once again MS screws the pooch and tries to cover it's tracks. Muppets.
