Enjoy the extra goodies!
The 3DS update is now available to all 3DS owners. This is the update promised by Nintendo to be released in November, so it may be late, but now your 3DS can do so much more.
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.
Nintendo won't be on time, but you still won't have to wait long.
Nintendo's November 3DS update should be right around the corner since there's only one day left in this month as of this writing, but there's been no announcement as to when exactly it will be released. Well, it should come as no surprise that Nintendo is going to miss the November window of release; however, the release date has now been locked down.

The SoulCalibur series is no stranger to the concept of the cross game cameo. Previous installments have seen Spawn, Yoda, Darth Vader, Heihachi and even Nintendo’s pointy eared Hylian, Link show up as bonus characters, so it only makes sense that the upcoming fifth game in the series will uphold this fine tradition.
Hulu Plus is due by year end, while the system update will hit in November.
