It is what is after alpha, bets and release candidates. Gold is the version the public sees.
GT4 has not been released yet. There was a few demos you could get from Toyota and other places, but the full version was still under development.
Now as far as super duper, re-releases of games as in releasing a Quake 2 Ultra Gold Edition or something like, I completely agree. As in finding a way to remarket the same game and make another $50.

It reveals something about the game though... to him it's not considered "entertainment". I thoroughly enjoyed GT2 and was constantly frustrated with GT3, so I hope they don't take this in the wrong direction.

When that fails, you end up like Jason- this guy who has EVERY SINGLE LOTR DVD because he had to "get the latest and greatest" 50 disc spectacular.
So far I have GT3. I'm holding off on GT4 until the "with enchanced features" comes out, so I don't end up like jason.

Swimming. Food/exercise/looks. Kick-ass targetting. Running from a car full of toughs... on a bicycle (great animation for bike riding). Strategic metagame. No more damn hidden boxes - they have you spraying over your rival gang's tags. Compelling story well integrated into the game. Beating up crack dealers. Improved graphics.
Well, I've made my after-dinner plans.

It IS way fun, but I haven't found any strategic metagames.

To a lot of players (most?) those features are useless, why make us wait for them? If you want online play, don't buy this version--wait for the online version. If you don't want online play, you can buy it now.
I personally have yet to see a game with online play that I really like. Of course, I also prefer

Let me guess...Sony forced them to release something in time for x-moose. Something tells me that with the release of an online version, which is what just about everyone interested in this game was waiting for, the sales for a non-online version will be limited to x-moose gifts from the same kind of parents who gave their kid the Twid Pod Cloud Car instead of a TIE Fighter or Snowspeeder Star Wars toy.

There's a huge segment of gamers who have no interest in online play (I'm among them). Why make them wait for useless features?

Anyway, an advantage of the "old" PS2 is it supports the HD, while the new thin one does not.

Multiplayer was and is a blast, but so many forget about the single player part of the game. The versatility of buying/building your own race cars was almost limitless, even in the first GT. The subsequent games were just as fun and diverse as the first. New cars and new tracks to master.
