Someone at HTF was even saying that it's literally the same 2 disc keepcase repackaged with a third. They said it still had the Cingular that expired in 2003! That's pretty lame.

it's new packaging, but the same exact discs...it tells you all of this on the back of the deluxe edition. I have no pics, but I've already seen it since I work for Best Buy.

that looks like it's from a different region. The link goes to eu.amazon.com.
Check out this pic from DVDEmpire:
This looks like it's just a slip case for the old 2 disc plus a case for the bonus disc.

I was able to get the Superbit tonight at a local shop. Here's my thoughts on it (viewed on a 57" Toshiba 16:9 set-ISF calibrated).
Video-wise, this appears to be the exact same transfer, just with a higher bit rate. I checked the bit rates for both during the same scenes and found the SB to be consistently in the 7-9 range, while the original disc was more 5-7. I'm not the world's biggest EE expert, but the video looked identical to me.
The good news is I find the DTS track significantly better than the DD 5.1 track on the original. (I did not play the DD 5.1 track on the SB). Comparitively, the DTS track was noticeably louder (though not excessively), and the rear channels were much more active, creating a much better surround effect.
The disc does come with MovieCash for Spider-Man 2. For me the better DTS track is probably worth it since the MoiveCash is included. However I wouldn't expect anything dramatic in the way of video improvement. I still don't think it's a bad looking film, but I'm pretty sure it's the same transfer. Chapter stops and titles were identical between both versions.
My recommendation would be if you are planning to see Spider-Man 2 in the theater and are a DTS fan, pick it up. If you're looking at this for a better picture, don't get it unless you don't have the previous version.
Oh, and I got a look at the 3-disc version, and it is indeed just a slipcase with the old 2-disc set and a third disc inside.

If you get a chance, HBO-HD will be running Spiderman all next month.
It also appears to use the same master as the DVD, just with an even higher bitrate.

So anyway to just buy that 3rd disc alone? Remember when Jurasic Park came out and you could mail away for the box and bonus disc (and it was universal! LOL!). I wish more companies did stuff like that.
