Set to release today, the new Dashboard is now TBD.
Major Nelson sent a tweet earlier this morning at 7 AM in regards to the new Xbox Dashboard update that was scheduled to be released. The tweet goes as follows: "FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today."
YouTube and TV providers missing the update's launch.
The big Xbox 360 fall dashboard update is finally coming out tomorrow and I personally blame my OCD tendencies for being so excited for it. Announced this year at E3 2011, the update includes Bing searching, YouTube, Live TV and EPIX, among other features. A UFC app was also announced but we know that it's been delayed to December 20 instead of its original date of December 1. Now it seems that the dashboard update will be missing a lot of the announced apps, at least at launch.

The framerate problems have been addressed.

In order to have this service, Xbox 360 owners must have FiOS TV and FiOS Internet services, as well as be Xbox Live Gold members. A free app must be downloaded to the Xbox 360 for the service to work.
The third entry in the series is coming to XBLA and PSN.
Ubisoft announced today that they are prepping Rayman 3 for the HD treatment. In celebration of the recently released Rayman Origins, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in the spring. The remaster will feature online leaderboards, achievements and trophies, and it will now run at a consistent 60 frames per second, complete with better audio quality.
The (New) New Xbox Experience comes out next month.
Microsoft announced that the new Xbox 360 dashboard will be out on December 6, 2011. This update was originally revealed at E3 2011.
Skyrim's map is bigger than you thought it was!
Skyrim's map is super big but as a PC player discovered, it's even bigger than you thought it was. This player found a gate in the southeastern part of the map and turned on a "no clip" mode to go beyond the gate. There he found an entirely different landscape.
After the food and crowds have gone, you can look forward to a fixed Skyrim experience.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is easily one of the hottest games out right now and many gamers are enjoying slaying dragons and collecting books. However, there have been issues with texture popping and frame rates since launch and players are wondering when these problems will be fixed. Bethesda Softworks had stated that they were working on a patch to resolve these issues but had been vague on when this patch would be released.
...since some code could be legally unfeasible.
John Carmack announced at QuakeCon 2011 that the source code for Doom 3 would be released to the public as open source after the release of RAGE. However, some of the source code will probably be rewritten to avoid some legal hassles with Creative Labs.
