I think it would have been great if they allowed pre-orders 5 years ago too. I could have sworn I heard of this happening but perhaps not.

Try GameStop, nine years ago.

They have ruined everything! Suddenly "I'll get a date when DNF comes out" lost all its meaning.

DNF was a synonym for vaporware. I even always used DNF to explain to people what vaporware is. What now?

iPhone on Verizon.

I read this and thought TextMate 2 was out for some reason :)

Funny -- there was just a thread on the Mac Ach at Ars Technica on this subject: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=113190... , and the top post says:

So remember the Duke Nuke'em Forever jokes back in summer 2008!. It's now nearly 2011. Still not even a rumor of a beta. Will this product ever be released?

Another person said:

I really think it's sill in development. I mailed him few days ago to still encourage him to develop TM2. I had a reply from the support guy, containing “hope we can live up to your expectations"

Of course, my expectations are that Textmate 2 will never come out, so I hope they don't live up to expectations in my case. But those expectations are easy to exceed.

This is the first video game to have a "movie" appeal. Fans of other cross-media formats, such as comic books, often will watch the movie simply because they were a fan of the series - even if the consensus is that the crossover is absolutely and completely terrible, and also hear as much from their most trusted referrals (see: Daredevil).

Because of the aging of this game and the story behind it, this sequel has taken on a similar quality - showing that maybe the thing that creates the appeal isn't the media format presented, but rather, the duration of time between one notable appearance and the next.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd say that's not a good example, because Apple never promised that the iPhone would come to Verizon (and Verizon didn't either).
