A discussion of this release started in the SDE One Deep River thread. I didn't want to keep polluting that thread with discussion about a different release.
Here is the info/order page.

So does anyone know what's really up with this? Is it vaporware? Did I miss something? Is there some unique strategy (or problem) in the works. It's a mystery to me.
It is "available" as an LP , a CD, a CD/Blu-ray Atmos deluxe set, and as a stereo digital download. The release date for all versions is this Friday, March 15. You can preorder the download and the LP. The CD and deluxe edition are listed as Out Of Stock.
As yet, I haven't heard from anyone here that they have pre ordered a copy. Is it really possible that this flew under every QQer's radar?
As far as I know, there was never an open window to make a pre order. It seems the page debuted with the CD and BRD options listed as sold out.
Is it a rollout strategy... See how the DLs and LP sales go before committing to any digital media?
Is it a pressing delay?
Should we believe the demand for this is so great that it sold out all copies of optical media during its preorder period?
If a the physical surround release isn't going to be issued, wouldn't an Atmos DL make sense?
