In mid-2005, a re-edit of this album was released, this time including the track «Me Vale Vergara», dedicated to the owner of Mexican soccer team Guadalajara's Chivas, businessman Jorge Vergara. This track includes references to the band's antipathy towards Vergara because of decisions he made in that club. The song was also motivated by Vergara's disparaging comment «Me pareció ver a un lindo gatito» ("I though I saw a pussy cat" or "I tawt I taw a puddy tat" in Spanish) when speaking about Mexican soccer club Pumas de la UNAM.
Originally, Me Vale Vergara circulated freely on the Internet as a demo version, so when the band decided to include it in the re-edit, it had some arrangements made. The track includes collaborations by Pumas de la UNAM team players such as "Parejita" López, Leandro Augusto, and Aílton da Silva.
For this special edition of the album, the cover design was changed, with a black background instead of the white background in the first version. There are a few added demos of some tracks, as well as a DVD with the music videos for "Amateur" and "Marciano", including a promo and a "behind the cameras" special.
This re-edit was released only in Mexico and the US under the name Con Todo Respeto, Unlimited Edition.
