If all holds steady ( we feel it should ) We could be going gold by Friday. It will still take a few days to ship but it will be out of our hands for winging its way to you.

I asked about this, for a very good reason, and indeed it would seem there are a few others who share my opinion. My wish was that the download would be available alongside the cd shipping, so for the few days it would take to be delivered (2 day delivery equals five or more days) we could adjust to the new things and knock it around a bit. Since I got the answer I was hoping for then, that it would be available as the cd was being shipped, I ordered with 'normal' mail delivery (slower supposedly, though I've never quite figured out the reality of how the postal businesses work, as I said, two day deliveries never get to my house before five days), but given what David has said recently, that they cannot both mail and make the download available BOTH at the relative same time (and that the cd would ship first), it might be a week or more, later than need be, if I had an understanding that things would switch as they have seemed to. I understand the product is less enticing to have the download available to the new version first, but it does complicate things sometimes when there seems to have been a change in plans. I hope that the friday date being discussed here is in fact the download being available then too, but it looks as though I'm out possibly as late as 2 weeks from friday, unless the download is available by then (because the cd is likely to arrive that late). Anyway, thought I'd let you know.

Hello, Matrix. Are you going gold today? (Today is Friday!!!) How the things are going about shipping and downloads? And, sorry for the question, but... what's the exact meaning of the phrase "going gold"? I don't understand it. Thanks and saludos.

I'm not sure why they use a gold CD rather than a "normal" one. Maybe someone more informed than I can answer that one! :D

Thanks Grimm. I work in computers and never heared about "going gold". When we have a Master copy, an original, we call it "master" only. Well, I'm in Spain and not in USA. But I like the phrase, and the meaning. :)

I like Grimm's explanation, too! Mikimoto, I'm a systems administrator (here in the U.S)and burn CDs all the time. :D I've never heard the term "going gold" before, but I do live a reclusive life! Actually, it sounds more like something a music producer would say. Hell, I hope they go platinum! :D :D

Status: offline 		It is an actual term as is evidenced by this website: http://www.gonegold.com/ That tracks new games and their release dates. As for using a gold cd, it is the best media for recording, or used to be at least.

Status: offline 		Yep, "gone gold" has been a term in the gaming industry for quite awhile. I believe the the "gold" copy is then pressed (when doing large numbers, not sure about Matrix..) :) mass producing CD's isn't exactly like burning them on your home PC. (thankfully! the processes are a bit more reliable) .. like Alby.. refresh. ;) (nah I better leave for awhile)
