What does it mean for a game to go gold?? It can't have to do with sales... I mean this game isn't even released yet.

It would make sense for it to be based on sales....Music Albums get Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

I can only imagine they base it on the same thing.

LOL silly kids. When a game goes gold it means it is being made in a factory to ship to stores on the release date.
