Beauty and the Beast is still one of Disney's best-loved and most-acclaimed films, so it makes perfect sense that when the studio was looking for a second "Diamond Edition" release to follow up on Snow White, they went with B&B. The film has been restored and polished for a high-def picture and 7.1 digital surround sound, and while the details as far as extras aren't available yet, based on the example of the Snow White Diamond Edition, you can expect to get everything and the kitchen sink. Which will be anthropomorphized and will perform a musical number for you.
As with Snow White, this release will first arrive as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and will list for $39.99 when it hits stands on October 5th. If you haven't upgraded but still want the latest version, you can wait until November 23rd for a two-disc set on standard DVD for 10 bucks less. But really, if you're not going to splurge to get the movie in the very best quality, just track down a cheap copy of one of the previous releases.
