    "Going gold" means the gold candidate, or the final version of the game/software is ready for release.

    It is what is after alpha, bets and release candidates. Gold is the version the public sees.

    GT4 has not been released yet. There was a few demos you could get from Toyota and other places, but the full version was still under development.

    Now as far as super duper, re-releases of games as in releasing a Quake 2 Ultra Gold Edition or something like, I completely agree. As in finding a way to remarket the same game and make another $50.

    IIRC, GT4 is one of the few games to support (but not require) the PS2 hard drive. I dunno what it'll do, probably just load faster. Maybe with the online version, there will be downloadable cars and tracks, but who knows?
    Anyway, an advantage of the "old" PS2 is it supports the HD, while the new thin one does not.
