"you’ll be able to access all the movies that Foxtel has license to, including the new releases it sticks onto its movie streaming channels, "

Not bad if it has recent releases, no doubt it will be a terrible flash player but baby steps....

AUD $25 per month? Thats a bit rich, especially when contrasted to NetFlix's USD $7.99. Although NetFlix is relatively weak when it comes to movie content, so may not be ideal if that is your primary focus.

But for TV shows NetFlix is a veritable Trevor trove, especially if you use a DNS provider that makes it easy to switch between US and UK NetFlix.

if they go by the same rights as Foxtel, then they will be the same time as they come on Pay Tv i.e. the equivalent of Sky Movies.

So a few months later than DVD (or iTunes) release, but sooner than Netflix or Free to Air.

You should try switching it to the Canadian Netflix. Movie selection is completely different, and much better than the US offering IMO.
