Despite only being released three months earlier, Kingsize 2.0 was re-issued in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2014, containing an additional track, "With or Without You", as well an enhanced section, featuring music videos and interview clips. The Japanese release of Kingsize 2.0 features an additional slipcase, as well as the bonus track "Back For More", which was issued as the B-side to "Singled Out" in the United Kingdom.[4] Copies of the album bought at Tower Records in the United Kingdom came with an exclusive poster booklet, containing information and facts on the band, as well as a complete chart history and discography. The poster booklet also indicated that a DVD release was planned to be released alongside the album, entitled Kingsize 2.0: Behind the Scenes, detailing the recording of the album, featuring interviews with the band, and including the music videos for the lead single, "Mamma Mia", and at the time, was planned as the album's second single, "I Have A Dream". However, due to the band's imminent split, "I Have A Dream" was never released as a single, the DVD release was cancelled, and a Greatest Hits compilation was released just three months after the release of Kingsize 2.0. The track "This Year", which was recorded during the album sessions, was later issued as an original track on the group's Greatest Hits compilation.
