How many times can you remaster a remaster of a remaster though? I mean did they actually go back to the master tapes, and re-equalize them and clean them up through more active filtering, or just repackage and add a few new song varients? I'm thinking this is just more a marketing ploy to generate mo' money. I can see if you didn't have an early album on CD, that this make it more attractive to go and and buy a disk, and I DO love my 'Floyd so don't get me wrong, but these seem more like delux special edition box set re-mixes, not "re-masters."

Per the CNN link quoted above:

"The Dark Side of the Moon," the band's 1973 classic, which still holds the record for longest run on the Billboard album charts, will be be re-issued in three versions: a single CD, a two-disc "Experience Edition" that includes a live album, and a six-disc "Immersion Edition" boxed set.

All 14 of the band's studio albums are being remastered and will be available on CD from today.

New deluxe versions of some of their classics, including Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall are also set for release over the next few months.
