Ah.. ok.

I thought it meant the game had already "pre-sold" a certain amount of copies; making it a certified "best-seller" from the start..

I still think THE ABOVE is the correct interpretation of "gone gold", but I could be wrong..<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You're talking about music cd's going gold. It's like, you sell 100,000 cd's in a country and it goes gold.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>What does 'Gone Gold' mean?

'Gone Gold' refers to the final Gold Master version of the game that will be used to manufacture the game for distribution. The term 'Gone Gold' derives from the actual color of the discs that developers use to burn the final versions of the game on to for sending to the replicators. When we announce that one of our titles has 'Gone Gold', it means that all of the development, testing and verification work has been completed and that you can look forward to seeing it on store shelves in around 2-4 weeks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


I have seen the way... let Shug-Niggurath, the keeper of the sacred key, pass me to the lost city so I may rest in infinity until re-awakened to bathe in Cthullu's glory!
