That's 'gone gold', a bit different and refers to the CD master. I've always thought of Gold editions as generally coming out much later in a products life cycle and often package the original game with whatever expansions have been released. It is a little strange to see one pre-release. I suppose they can call it whatever they want.

I see this one includes a 'strategy guide', which in the old days meant 'the manual'. I've thought for some time the regular release will include more of the pamphlet type manual so as not to be so intimidating to the casual gamer.
