There's a 2 disc pre-order on AMUK due 29th October. Not sure how much footage they'll include:

Although Danny Boyle says he is going to release a special edition of the opening ceremony showcasing things that might have slipped you by in the original broadcast.

I think they are just waiting to get it all together on one DVD. I don't know if it will be available to download as well:

Presumably it will made available for international customers to order or from other stockists.

Blu-ray

Note these are both Region 2

Also of note:
"It was the Olympic Games we’ll never forget and this Official London 2012 release will ensure we relive every golden memory. Featuring over nine hours of footage, it marks some of the best of the BBC’s Olympic coverage including the amazing successes from Team GB, and the key moments from the rest of the games. In addition to this it will also include, highlights from Danny Boyle’s unforgettable opening ceremony and the musical extravaganza of the closing ceremony. "

So it may be a little GB-heavy for foreign fans and it may miss bits of the ceremony.
