Correct, no ordering yet. The copy we, as donators, got is an "advance
copy". Damon is still fighting with Sony and a couple of other
companies (who are large enough to wipe him out) over licensing issues
that he thought were solved months ago. He may still need to make scene
changes if he can't get the lawyers to pin down reasonable fees for
certain sections of the movie.

Once that's all ironed out there will be a "general release" version
that will be for sale to all.

Until the general release (and possibly even after) the restrictions on
screening the advance release are very strict. He's basically trusting
everyone who donated to not screw him.

I haven't even watched mine yet. Too much going on.
