I've seen dozens upon dozens and NONE or them have a pre-order date or time. So why all these articles? Gaming journalism sucks.
Sony recently announced that they would tell us ahead of time and there are articles on that. Most articles prior to the announcement and after it are all fluff and filler. This needs to stop.
Its become even more streamlined than that, there are press kits/press packs, which are prepackaged set of promo materials that are fed directly to publishers, which do not even have to write their own articles anymore because of it.
