anticappointment

The let-down that happens when some event has been massively over-hyped. You are really looking forward to it but in the end it does not at all live up to your unrealistically high expectations and you are bummed out.

Everyone was talking about that movie so I finally went out and saw it. What an anticappointment.

anticipointment 

Most of the definitions here are simply defining "disappointment". Anticipointment is trickier than that: it's anticipating something (usually eagerly) that you expect to be disappointed by on some level as well. It's not simply anticipation followed by disappointment; it's kinda both at the same time.

The classic example is the computer-user who eagerly anticipates a price-drop on new components, but knows that the price drops because of even newer technology - which they can't afford. The user is trapped in a continuing state of anticipointment.
