The guys over at OzBoxLive are organizing a Game Night in Melbourne, Australia which they are calling "Xperience Xbox" at The State Library of Victoria on July 17th.
This is the very first time you'll see the official Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince Videogame Launch trailer world-wide. The game is released on the 3rd of July on Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and various mobile devices.
For the first time in a Harry Potter videogame, it's possible to read the emotion in characters' faces as they talk, thanks to the advanced facial animation system that was used during development. Many of the film's actors provided their voices for the game, and the development team at EA had access to photos and body scans of all the characters, so every raised eyebrow and fluttering cloak is accurately portrayed in the game.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is pushed back to the next summer but today, Succesfull.fr, has revealed the list of the 43 achievements for the game on Xbox 360.
EA's just confirmed that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be delayed until next summer. The game will ship alongside the movie of the book, instead of releasing this winter.
"Harry Potter" is a series dictated by the most popular console. First, PS One. Then, PlayStation 2. For a while, Xbox 360. But now, Wii has taken over.

Various sources claimed they were surprised by the news, while the producer said the announcement came at an inopportune time, indicating the game would also have to be pushed due to overlapping story lines outside of the already-released book."
EA Casual Entertainment Label and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game will be released later this year to coincide with the film based on J.K. Rowling's sixth Harry Potter book.
