Several Message Boards posts have popped up, all claiming that a leaked e-mail from Microsoft Game Studios confirms that Mass Effect has gone gold.
"MGS is very pleased to announce that Mass Effect has passed certification and has been released to manufacturing.
While it took a bit longer than we originally anticipated to complete this epic title, we are all very proud of the game and early reviews (9.75 from Game Informer, 95 from Consol.at, and Game of the Month from GamePro) show that others share our enthusiasm."
