Some editions of the album come with a bonus Dual Disc. The CD layer features rare material, while the DVD layer comprises all the band's music videos to date. Some editions of this special version, such as the Japanese and Argentinian issues, include, instead of the DualDisc, a second, standard audio CD with the rarities' content of the CD layer of the DualDisc, along with a separate DVD containing the music videos. [8] The Argentinian version DVD (catalogue number 50999 5082759 6, distributed by EMI Odeon) contains the Eleven Promos DVD from 2002 (which corresponds to the first 11 videos of the DVD layer on the DualDisc distributed with other versions).
