I just got a Facebook alert that Rush is releasing a remastered Moving Pictures in a CD + DVD set and as a CD + Blu-ray set.
Here's the official video ad from youTube, on Rush's Beyond the Lighted Stage channel. Some details are included there:

- DIGITALLY REMASTERED CD ALBUM
- AUDIOPHILE 5.1 SURROUND SOUND MIX - supervised by the band's Alex Lifeson
- ADVANCED-RESOLUTION AUDIO QUALITY - Astonishing 96kHz/24-bit audio on DVD and Blu-ray. The closest experience to what the band hear in the studio
- 3 MUSIC VIDEOS - Tom Sawyer, Limelight and the previously unreleased Vital Signs
- EXPANDED BOOKLET with RARE PHOTOS - plus brand-new liners by Rolling Stone's David Fricke

According to
blu-ray.com, the release has been delayed from April 5 to May 3, and the "audiophile" 5:1 mix means DTS-HD Master Audio. REFLECT!
However, according to
this site, it sounds like the difference in release dates may just be a reflection of the fact that
Brest Best Buy is the only place to get the Blu-ray edition for the first month that it is out.
