Halo 2 Gold!

I have to ask because I keep seeing video game news about games going gold and platinum, what does gold and platinum mean?

Gold means the game is finished and sent to the DVD press to be made into the final product.  

Platinum means the game as sold over a certain amount.  Im pretty sure its a million.

Um, alright. And there was going to be delay?? Honestly, when Bungie invests money in advertising for a November 9th release date, it will happen. So, Halo 2 being finished was inevitable.

Hell, i even pre-ordered it.  Collector's edition for $40 shipped with tax, beat that wink.gif

Definately worth buying for Xbox Live... I am actually signing up for XBL just for this game, and I'm sure many others will as well.

Now we can all say "Finally"!!
Its true, MS ain't stupid enough to advertise for a certain date and yet delay it to another.



BTW: I got my collectors edition for $38 shipped wink.gif

Through the MTV Buy.com goof awhile back?

For the person who asked about the collector's edition, it has a video DVD of behind the scenes stuff and a special case.
