TCM has gone gold but the demo hasn't been released yet...and the release date was set exactly on the same date as CM4's...umm i wonder why...

Because thats when its going to e released im sure they would like to push it forward as much as possible although it does seem like a bit of a coincidence

Ahh i just remebered isnt TCM 04 coming out on the 27th

Release date for CM is still 21st, but TCM's was put back to 28th a week and a half ago. So, yes, you are correct (just about :))

Call me a horseradish, but what the hell is "going gold?"

I always thought it was when a game sold x copies. (EA should be proud as they have my £22.99 in their fat capitalist wallets!)

It means that is has started being packaged (ie. Putting on CDs, then distributing etc).
