HBO GO not available on Xbox until early 2012

Tomorrow (December 6th) the latest Xbox 360 dashboard update will hit internet connected consoles. I am currently in the beta and am really enjoying the new interface. One of the new features, not included in the beta is the multitude of video services Microsoft is adding to the service.

Reading Twitter the last weeks I've heard many expecting HBO GO, arguably the most anticipated service, to be available on the 6th when the update is released. This is not the case. Major Nelson has released a list of the services and when they will be available. You can see a list of the services after the break. To hit the highlights, HBO GO won't be available until early 2012, which means "don't hold your breath" and YouTube will be out by the end of December.
