I still have my physical media for this but I would love a re-release - especially here with some bonus material. I'm also eagerly awaiting some more info on it. I just reinstalled this a few weeks back for a replay.
For the sake of nostalgia and those who may not be familiar with this masterpiece, here is the intro to Planescape Torment.

BillMcGee: No Atari logo. Anybody have one or all of them? How are they?

I have all three of those; my wife bought them for me for Christmas. The Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale boxes do have the Atari logo; Torment doesn't for whatever reason. It has the Interplay logo instead.
Also, IWD is in an actual box; the others are in the usual DVD keep cases. All are on DVD, although the two BG expansions are included on separate CDs. I haven't played any of them yet, but I've no reason to believe that they've been modified in any way.

Thanks for the reply. There are versions of BG and IWD without the Atari logo as well. I'd also assume they're not modified (aside from PS:T being put onto 1 DVD instead of multiple CDs?), but I couldn't locate the publisher information about these three. I've since looked at PEGI's website and saw that Game Outlet is listed as the publisher: http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=planescape
They're also listed for BG and IWD.
I've not heard of Game Outlet, but apparently they have good taste.

It's apparently Europe's leading provider of overstock games for all platforms so it's no wonder no one has heard about it. That still does not explain the boxes as they are new and noticably different from Atari rereleases from years back. Did interplay ever issue DVD rerelease of it's infinity engine games before it almost folded and had to hand rights over to ATARI?

Yeah, looking at the BG case, they removed all mention of Atari, even in the small print. It'd be nice to know where Game Outlet got the reprint rights so we can beg that company for a digital version!

It turns out that my wife hunted those games down on ebay and various international sellers. (I didn't realize she went to so much effort.) So the copies I have came from all over the world. The Icewind Dale box has Australian "mature audiences" labeling so I can guess where it came from. The Torment box gives no clue at all where it came from. For all I know it could be some unlicensed knock off.
