To watch GoT online, you need to have HBO bundled with your cable package, so for someone without cable, that's essentially $100/mo. I would absolutely pay $10-20/mo or $30-40 to watch GoT just on HBO online or streaming through Amazon. So I would say the inconvenience is more aligned with having to sign up for cable than anything else.

You can get an Australian iTunes account to get GOT in a timely manner.

Any OS restrictions on that GoT/HBO facility? Netflix does.

"HBO.com is optimized for the most recent browsers and requires Flash and a broadband connection. Specifically, HBO.com supports Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+ and Safari 2.03+ HBO.com requires the free Flash plug-in, version 9.0124 or greater."
Assuming they don't explicitly block Chrome, either that or FireFox should work fine on Linux.
