I think it deserves to be remastered. 
Colors are clear and sharp in the lighter scenes, but tend to be slightly muddy when the film becomes darker (as it does quite often, both literally and figuratively), leading to some occasional problems seeing exactly what’s going on in scenes. However, it’s obvious that a restoration job of sorts has been undertaken; although the print isn’t blemish-free, it’s still far better than most 20-year films would look under similar conditions.

This is out here in Canada. I am almost 100% sure I saw it at the local WalMart this past weekend.

wha..?! The current MGM special edition is pretty flawless (sans DTS, which would have been a cool inclusion), why a new version?, we're talking about the Alan Parker film version, right.

This may be Columbia's new thing : repackaging old DVDs with new boxes. They did this recently with Little Women, Sense and Sensibility and with Easy Rider.

I might still pick this up, even though it's a re-pack. There's always a good chance the extras won't make it to the new disc. I can always give the old one to a friend.
I also got the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (hamburger) re-pack because the case was pretty cool. This is what happens when you have too much disposable income
