The 6 panel digipak will be limited to 250,000 pieces worldwide, each individually numbered, and will include a DVD of NIN performing five live tracks from ''The Slip'' at rehearsals, a 24-page booklet, and an exclusive sticker pack. The CD is to be released July 22, 2008 in the US and Canada, and released July 21, 2008 in the UK and Europe.
Originally, the physical product was intended to be released on July 22, 2008 in the US, Canada, and Japan as a numbered, CD/DVD package, limited to 250,000 units with the UK, Europe, and Australian unnumbered editions to be released on July 21, 2008, with the same content as the North American and Japanese editions. It is not known at this time why the decision was made for the numbers produced to be reduced.
The double gatefold vinyl release contains one 180-gram LP and a 24-page booklet. Unlike the CD release, the vinyl is not numbered. It will be released in the US and Canada on august 5th, 2008, and in the UK and Europe on August 4th, 2008.
====Third Disc====
On Amazon US, ''The Slip'' is described as having three discs. A user named as Ronaldo Jones posted under the discussion "Hidden Disc" that there is a third disc, a CD, with more studio tracks named "The Take Over". This is, however, just a rumour.
When asked to verify the product info, Amazon.com customer service replied with the following: "I understand that it is listed as 2 disc, 6 panel digipak in other websites and it is listed as 3 discs on our website. The only information we can give you about a particular CD is what is displayed on the detail page for that particular music title."
No further clarification was given.
