Those links are not for the US market. The release has been delayed a few months but no official statement as to why. Just speculation.

It has everything to do with the HBO contract. There is a six month gap between airing the documentary and it's availabilty in the US market. It's the same as it was for the Scorsese Harrison documentary. Standard industry practice.
