Yes, the Black Gold mystery is over: it turns out that is a simple trim package, not an upgrade. There are exactly seven changes made:

1) the box: now has three "black gold edition" labels on it. They are not stickers, they are printed onto the actual box.
2) the neck strap: now has an additional "gold edition" logo on it
3&4) the two strap lugs: now plated with a very shiny golden coating
5) the shutter button: now coated with a soft gold color
6) the mode dial: now gas gold colored icons, not white
7) the D60 badge: now a soft colored gold

Keep in mind, this is a $50 upgrade. I don't view this as a gimick to get an extra $50 out of customers, I view this as a weak effort to compete with the XS on the grounds of style, not features.

I have examined the menus as well as the high ISO settings, and have concluded with 95% confidence that there are no internal changes. The spec table reads identical as well.
