The back of the cover says REMASTERED MOVIE. Sucks there is no DTS this time around. Still gonna pick it up in May.
Edit: I missed the top of the back cover where it says an AWESOME REMASTERED VERSION...

I would get the HD DVD. It's not like my A2 is going to vaporize or anything. Also, the HD DVD will likely sound better on my setup since the A2 converts the Dolby Digital Plus & True HD tracks into 1.5mbps DTS while my PS3 would just convert it to regular Dolby Digital.

What to do?
From what I've read a slightly to moderately better transfer and a few more bonus features. But losing the deleted scenes and one of the best DTS tracks I've heard.
I can't possibly make this decision based soley on the snapper case.
Anyone else have trouble deciding whether to give up the DTS for the new edition?

But my hate for snapper cases surpases that, it's the only reason I don't own the movie yet, so I will still more than likely pick this up

I made two screen comparisons between the old and new versions:

Which edition had the deleted scenes? I have the snapper case (copyright on it is 2000), no deleted scenes. It does have a DTS track, though.

And I do know the original description was listed on early Twister dvds. It's just when Warner was repressing them. Someone goofed and various ratings and reasons got mixed up on wrong titles.

Another recently updated favorite is this: http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...or=1#topoftabs
Apparently children under 13 should be prevented from seeing "science fiction".
