I'm wondering if we can order the game through matrix's website and get the game faster than a pre-order at ebgames?

If the game is made available via Direct Download at Digital River (like the most recent Matrix Games releases) then: Yes.
(but i do not make those publishing decisions)

Oh cool! I want it fassstttt! (I want it now actually). I like direct download cause then I know the money all goes right to the developer and not to the retail store too.

Isn't Digital River just an electronic retail store? I mean, they must be taking a cut too or why would they run their service? Of course, I'm sure it is much smaller than a brick and mortar store.
What I hate about buying a game in boxed form is that I know part of what I'm shelling out is for the box and other packaging that will immediately be tossed anyway.
Plus, I hate having to put a CD into the machine in order to play. Gets to be a major PITA to keep swapping CD's every time I swap games.
