Trivia

Packaging

"Gold" is indeed the key word in this release. Not only it included several important additions (netplay, Windows and 3D card support) but the whole package is in golden tones: the box (without the display sleeve) and the inner part of the jewel case are of a darkish-gold colour, and the CD itself is metallic yellow-tinted instead of the usual silver green/blue tint.
