I have a similar revulsion to what I call our "pre-order culture". Everything is "coming soon, preorder today!" It used to be just video games (and I guess some books) but it seems like EVERYTHING is available for pre-order. Kickstarter and its ilk certainly didn't help that. Once I type my credit card in it flips the "when is it going to get here" switch in my brain and the obsession sucks. I preordered an Apple Watch and spent so much time checking shipping status and hanging out on /r/applewatch that by the time it actually showed up the thrill was gone. There's a bunch of psychic overhead involved in preordering something -- or watching/reading a story that doesn't end -- and the anticipation completely outweighs the payoff.
