Question about Dante's Peak DTS release

OK, I just got it in the mail from digitaleyes which I trust (I mean it is the same warehouse as DDD and DVDPlanet). But, the cover is way different than I expected. It does not match what is on the website, movie poster with Brosnan and Hamlin faces in billowing smoke. Instead it is a quiet cheesy looking image of Brosnan running in front of lava. It looks legit, but the cover is different and just so cheesy. Did Universal (I know they do lots of dumb things) change the cover? Anyone else have similar thoughts or experience?

What I thought I was getting



What I got sort of (has DTS logos at top)

Universal changed the cover. They changed the cover art on several of their older dvds including U-571 and Daylight.

Is the DTS track any good? I have seen this a couple of times on tv and thought I should pick it up sometime.

Well, good to know. I wish I had the old cover. I looked, the Daylight one is horrid as well.

I have the top version in DTS, but it came with the DD collector's edition insert. I purchased it the first week of release.
