    How can something be "over hyped"?

    By definition hype means to exaggerate.

    HYPE
    Excessive publicity and the ensuing commotion: the hype surrounding the murder trial.
    Exaggerated or extravagant claims made especially in advertising or promotional material: "It is pure hype, a gigantic PR job" (Saturday Review).
    An advertising or promotional ploy: "Some restaurant owners in town are cooking up a $75,000 hype to promote New York as 'Restaurant City, U.S.A.'" (New York).
    Something deliberately misleading; a deception: "[He] says that there isn't any energy crisis at all, that it's all a hype, to maintain outrageous profits for the oil companies" (Joel Oppenheimer).

    I think the whole idea

    of pre-ordering has been over-hyped 110%!

    Speaking of ordering...

    Went on a Play.com shopping spree yesterday - Family Guy Season 1, American Dad Season 2 and King Of The Hill Season 5.

    Should keep me occupied for a while...

    Oh I don't know, pre-ordering has a certain level of...

    ...functionality provided you are pro-active about it.

    I bought Family Guy 5 just on the spur the other week - absolutely loved it so I thought I'd order the first series.

    King Of The Hill can be a bit slow at times but it has its moments of brilliance.
