gold edition

Upgraded collector's release

A gold edition is a premium or enhanced version of a product, typically a video game, album, or book, that includes extra content or features beyond the standard release.

The "gold" suggests value and exclusivity: The gold edition comes with bonus levels and a soundtrack.

In software development, "going gold" means a product is finalized for release, which may have influenced the marketing term.
