This is a brand new four DVD box set and includes a digital remaster of the film (hopefully in the correct aspect ratio this time) and over ten hours of extras. These extras include a 2005 documentary explaining the influence the film has had on current directors (interviewed are Ridley Scott and George Lucas) and the 1925 silent version (which I already have on laserdisc). This last, BTW, includes sequences in two strip technicolor and nudity. My copy is on order from Amazon.
Follow Ups:
I ought to actually sit down and watch this movie. I saw a few bits and pieces years ago and I really like Heston. He was in town for the Bush campaign and joked that he didn't know anything about winning a chariot race. The director told him "you just stay in the chariot, and i'll make sure that you win".
...so we'll see if the new one's wider.
According to Widescreen Museum, the highly touted 2.76/1 aspect ratio of the current DVD is not correct and they show that some picture information is missing.
