Not too long we told you about the ballsy Asian horror movie The Host (review) pulling out all the stops by jumping on every available DVD format right here. Though the news about the film having four different releases come July 24th is old, the cover art for the discs is not.

There's one more month to go so in the meantime you can pre-order The Host two-disc set through EvilShop, but if that is not to your liking, try the single-disc version. For you early adaptors to the new high-def formats, you can pre-order the Blu-ray version here or the HD-DVD edition instead.
