Usually games have a two week period between going gold and hitting the shelf. If the release date holds firm (which could still change), I would say early next week.

I expect the game to go Gold the week starting March 5th.

Sounds a bit late-ish - isn't it generally 2 weeks before release? (unless the north american release has been delayed also?)

TDK1044 · 02-22-07, 09:11 PM

I'd be surprised if was earlier than that personally..but I could be wrong.

You might be right, Heres wishing

Going gold sounds like a great excuse to get waisted

Mikkow · 02-23-07, 08:51 AM

Sounds like you are 'waisted' already judging by that typing. Heheheheh

No drug abuse for me (drug abuse I define as taking any drug that is not medically motivated and is harmful). I make exceptions for smaller amounts of caffeine

though could I find the same substances/drinks (chocolate/tea) without it, I'd choose it instead.

What about the rest of you?

Schemer · 02-23-07, 08:56 AM

Booze is harmful?

Boris · 02-23-07, 09:09 AM

Statistically, booze is the most harmful drug around. But that's not gonna stop me from drinking it!

Barkhorn1x · 02-23-07, 09:29 AM

As an old boss of mine once said when he found out a person didn't drink:

"What! You mean to tell me that when you wake up in the morning that's as good as you are going to feel all day!"

Usually 2-4 weeks is the standard (3-4 weeks being what i have seen most).

Also, keep in mind, that it is possible for a game to go Gold and the news not be sent out for a little bit of time.

TDK1044 · 02-23-07, 12:14 PM

Yeah, but going gold pre-supposes that Beta Testing is complete. I have it on very good authority that Beta Testing is not yet complete on SH4.

Boris · 02-23-07, 12:28 PM

You're a beta-tester aren't you :hmm:

TDK1044 · 02-23-07, 12:39 PM

Yes, Sir.
