21 days until Lego Harry Potter?


It has been one of the hottest debates amongst PSP gamers of late, but it now seems that the final release date for the PSP version of Lego Harry Potter is the 30th of July 2010. Mini Gamers recently reported that the PSP version  game had been delayed by the publishers TT games.

We also contacted them to ask why the game had been delayed when all the other formats of the game had already been released to the public. TT games has so far declined to comment on its decision.

So, it now seems like it will only be another few weeks before PSP gamers can enjoy the rich spoils of this long-awaited addition to the Lego Games series. However, this does not make up for the thousands of  fans who have pre-ordered this game only to be disappointed. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that the release date will not be changed again between now and the end of the month.




HAVE YOUR SAY...

Has the delay of the PSP version of Lego Harry Potter made you feel angry or disappointed? Did you preorder the game? How did you feel when you were informed that the release date had been changed? Why do you think the game might have been delayed? Are you looking forward to eventually getting a copy of the game, or has the delay marred your excitement?

Here at Mini Gamers, we are interested in hearing your views. Please feel free to leave a comment in the comments box by clicking the 'comments' link at the bottom of the post and share your thoughts on this issue with others.

  2. Thanks Canand, I am as frustrated as you are about the constant delays. As I have said, Mini Gamers contacted TT Games personally to ask them why the game had been delayed, but they have declined to comment.

    I think PSP gamers would all be understanding if there was a good reason why the game was not released, but just to change the release dates over and over again is not good enough :0(

  4. Thanks again, I will try and contact them... However, I don't think that they will give a clear answer as several websites and blogs have been asking the same question, and no-one has the answer yet...Whatever the reason, it is really frustrating! Wish they'd hurry up and release it.

  6. The fact that the PSP version came out alongside all the other formats in the USA suggests that the delay in the UK is more to do with marketing(i.e not wanting it to be released at the same time as some other PSP games on the market) and not really to do with a design fault of flaw... however, I am currently trying to contact WB as you suggested and see if they can provide a good reason for the delay. Watch this space! Help with the site is also appreciated. Thanks!

  8. Yes, well it's to be expected, as you already said that Game had changed the release date and I said in my latest post on this subject,(http://worldofminigamers.blogspot.com/2010/07/yet-more-confusion-for-lego-harry.html), it was only a matter of time before other shops followed suit...

    I will be amazed if this game ever makes it onto PSP now.

    By the way, I contacted Warner Bros to ask about the game but they are also refusing to comment. I think it shows a total lack of respect for Lego game fans and I am seriously wondering whether to buy this game at all when it is finally released on PSP now.

  11. It seems as though this game will be delayed forever. I wish there was a proper explanation for the delay though...
