Availability:
There were initally two CD albums commercially available for this score, followed in subsequent months by another CD album and an LP release. Of the two albums released in July, 2008, one is a regular product in a jewel case and the other is a special edition digipak that was reportedly limited in its production run and therefore was offered at a retail price $2 higher than the regular CD album. Released on August 12th, 2008 is a double LP release on heavy-weight (180 gram) vinyl, utilizing the same cover art as the regular commercial CD. Its initial retail price was $33. The contents of all these albums, according to Warner, is the same.

Warner Brothers also immediately advertised a "collector's edition" album to be released at an undetermined date in subsequent months, featuring special artwork. That product came in the form of a 2-CD set that added several more cues and remixes on the second CD. At a retail cost of over $55, the set's additional music and packaging was very overpriced.

Awards:
  Nominated for a BAFTA Award and a Grammy Award.
