A special edition three-disc set was also released. The first disc features the full concert and extra songs (that were played on the other Milan show), while the second disc contains documentaries on the film, interviews with the band, Anton Corbijn (who designed the stage), extra songs (that were played on the other Milan show), tour projections, and more. The third disc is an audio CD containing every song from Playing the Angel that was played at the two shows. In the United States, the three-disc set is packaged in a digipak and the standard two-disc set, containing only the two DVDs, is in a keep case.
One day before its US release, 25 September, the film was screened for a one-time only show, which also included the documentary video, in various theatres across the country.
