Methinks you don't understand what going gold is
"Gone gold" means that the gold "master" CD has been delivered to manufacturing (the CD may or may not actually be gold. The term derived from the fact that CD-R media used to be gold colored. "Gone green", "Gone blue", or "Gone silver" just doesn't have the same feel as "Gone gold"). This is the CD from which all shipping CDs are pressed (shipping CDs are pressed, not burned like the master CD). Depending on the manufacturing run, a game that has "gone gold" may ship to stores in as little as a few days or as late as a few months.
I wasnt actually being serious but still you could probably following pressing and shipping get it out there in a week... Nevertheless there are other reasons why you might want to stick to your schedule (marketing would be a big one, TV spots on a certain schedule etc). My comment was really just a vent in that I want the game out now
