Along with the remastered album, a Blue-ray disk will feature in the deluxe edition that will also include an unreleased 30-minute electronic press kit, a hi-fi audio version of New Adventures, and five HD-restored music videos.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi will be reissued as a two-CD set and digital collection with just the remastered album and rarities.
