Read the FAQ next time.
Many thanks for directing me to the FAQ, however I raised the question mainly because of the seemingly conflicting information available on FT and CX Website. And while I'm prepared to accept that FT FAQ's are more current than the CX Website I was hoping someone who's recently traveled in the 33B can confirm that the IFE is in fact completely "On Demand".

All passengers on flights operated by Olympus aircraft can enjoy Audio Video on Demand (AVOD) aboard all long haul flights in addition to 31 Nintendo and other game packages. There is a choice of approximately 20 main run movies, in addition to childrens' movies, Asian movies and other short television features e.g. comedies, documentaries. The retractable handset is mounted in the armrest.
On non-Olympus long-haul aircraft (744, 333, 34C and 34D), only First and Business Class passengers have AVOD.
