You haven't seen it yet? It is really awesome. My friend actually got tickets and we saw it live in London, and then some weeks later at home went to the screening in the cinema. They have done some more screenings since, but I am not sure if they were only in the UK or worldwide too.
It was interesting to compare the live and the cinema experience. In theatre, I made a point to look around stage, which was dressed very nicely. In the cinema, they often did close-ups of the actors, which gave some scenes an oddly intimate look. You could think Hamlet was alone while there were lots of other people in the background. So it was great seeing both.
I really don't understand why they don't want to release DVDs.
