Wonderful, sneaky devil Trent Reznor has never been one to release just a single version of an album, and his ?beautiful and disturbing? score for David Fincher?s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo remake is no different.

The rocker, who co-wrote the score with Atticus Ross, announced Thursday night that pre-orders are now available through iTunes for the regular version of the soundtrack. Those that pre-order can immediately download the pair?s collaboration with Karen O on a cover of Led Zeppelin?s ?Immigrant Song.?

?For the last 14 months, Atticus and I have been hard at work on David Fincher?s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,? Reznor wrote on the Nine Inch Nails site. ?We laughed, we cried, we lost our minds and in the process made some of the most beautiful and disturbing music of our careers.?

Fans can download a free 35-minute, six-track sampler of the film?s score (listen below and enter your e-mail address in the widget at right to get a download link). iTunes is also hosting a new, eight-minute trailer for the film, which Reznor and Ross scored separately from the movie (!!!). You can see it on the soundtrack?s landing page in the iTunes store to get an advance look at Fincher?s remake of the Swedish cybercrime film based on Stieg Larsson?s Millennium series.

But wait, there?s more! In addition to the iTunes download, Reznor and Ross ? who won an Oscar for their previous work with director Fincher on The Social Network, are offering many other purchasing options for the soundtrack, including multiple digital versions and a digipak.

The best, though, is the $300 megaversion, which includes digital versions, the full album on six pieces of vinyl, a poster, some other stuff, and, get this, a custom 8-GB metal razor blade USB pendant modeled after the necklace that hacker heroine Lisbeth Salander (played by Rooney Mara) wears in the film. Also, the whole deal is signed by Reznor and Ross.

Check out the sampler below and consider your soundtrack options wisely. You never know ? Reznor might release a whole other version of the damn thing, complete with dubstep remixes, in the very near future. OK, maybe not.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo hits theaters Dec. 21.
