In the US (it differs from Country to Country), unless it's recently changed, the Gold threshold I believe is 500,000 for albums and singles.

I'm from the US, but I admit my information may be as much as forty years out of date...it used to be 100,000, and platinum was one million.

I wouldn't expect SH4 to go gold until the first week of March.

I wait until couple of paches are out, before i buy the game.

So what your saying is you are going to let us do the beta testing for you?

Since the game engine is the same as SH III, maybe there will not be a lot of bugs this time around.

Hey, and that's your right. As much as most everyone here is eagerly anticipating SH4's release, I believe the vast majority are realists, and accept some bugs are more than likely going to sneak through the beta testing phase. If I had your willpower, perhaps I'd wait too. There's just no way I could sit idly by as others post in-game screenshots and patrol reports etc. Nah, just couldn't do it.

I honestly don't think it will be like SH3. I think SH4 is in much better shape. I don't mind adding a patch...four I had a problem with.

I know the game will have bugs and problems when it comes out. I pray they won't be as bad as SH3. (For the life of me I still can't understand how some of those bugs were not taken care of in the first iteration of SH3...didn't the devs play their own freakin' game?!) I'm really looking forward to this. Mind you, I don't believe it will come out on "time" but when it does I'm going to be there eager to get it in my hot little hands....

As I wrote in another post, I like patches. It shows contiued dev/publisher support, and doesn't always simply address bugs. Sometimes patches add game enhancing features and introduce new content. All reasons why I like patches!

Mind you, of the four that Ubi released, one was basically a botch, 1.3 or something I believe. It was the patch that broke the sonar and watch crew in identifying potential targets. Most people uninstalled it, but I recall that patch added stuff too, the camera locking onto your moving sub and ships was one of these welcomed additions.

But I digress.

Sadly that is becoming the norm with new games.. Bf2 had tons of problems for example.

A lot of these, I wonder how nobody caught them.
