Pre-ordered mine yesterday from amazon.ca...they've currently got it at $17.49 ($7.50 off list price), so I figured I'd grab it...it's also available at the CBC.ca shop but for $24.95...
Anyone find it cheaper?

Dunno about cheaper, but I ordered mine from the CBC shop on the 17th and it arrived on the 21st, so I can't complain about the speed of delivery. I watched it last night (well, the parts with Hip content) and I figure it'll do until a real concert DVD is available.
Best part: I don't think I've ever seen Paul Langlois that smiley onstage. (Wasn't his dad a high school football coach? I kept imagining him and his father teasing each other about how the coach's son got to play at the Grey Cup, even if it was guitar rather than middle linebacker or something.) I got chilly just looking at Downie in his short-sleeved shirt. I thought he didn't like singing when he was cold?
Also, there was a little Hip content in the "Grey Cup Week" segment, on Sunday. When they run through the highlights of the game there are several cuts to the Hip heading out onstage at the end of the first half, and a little bit of their soundcheck early in the afternoon.
