- Another Japanese edition had "Halleluja" as a 12th track.
- The Limited edition had a second CD with just one track, "Hallelujah", and a CD-ROM area featuring the "Sonne" video.
- A 12" Vinyl version and a MC version were released, with the same tracklist (Side A = 1-6; B = 7-11)
- The Limited Tour Edition was also released as a double cassette set, with the second cassette containing the live tracks (Side A = 1-2; B = 3-4).
Note: some copies that have "Halleluja" as a hidden track can not be played for unknown reasons. On April 3, 2010 Rammstein posted a video with an official translation of Halleluja on their facebook page, "in light of recent events".[8]
