Bit of an update that may be of more general interest.
I was on the phone to cancel my Foxtel on Xbox service and the lady on the line stated that the entire point of Foxtel on Xbox was to let people outside of Foxtel areas get access to it and thus my location wouldn't be the issue. I'm pretty sure Austar wouldn't want to hear that, but I'm not complaining.
She then went on to contact technical support and they said the reason Foxtel for Xbox isn't showing up is because it went live in error, and that its proper launch is actually on the 10th. They then told me to call Microsoft and get them to register my console so I'd have no issues on the day.
Surprised and skeptical, I gave Microsoft a bell and while support wouldn't register my console for a service that wasn't launched, she gave me the same general response about it not having actually launched yet, just differing on the date (the 8th).
So perhaps some hope for those of us interested in cheap PayTV who also have high download quotas, though I'm not entirely convinced.
Time will indeed tell.

Am I in the minority in this, do most AusGAFers enjoy such things?
I'm very guilty of enjoying that stuff, I like memorabilia. Hell the main reason I'm tempted to buy Epic Mickey is because of the figurine, my older sister is a Disney nut would love if I got her that for Christmas.
Might just be in the blood, I think it's all good to show your nerdy side if you aren't being stupid about it. There's a difference between a Heavy Rain Origami on a desktop and a anime mouse pad with boob wrist rests.
