One can clearly see the DVD disc on the lander. See:

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/n/001/2N126468357EDN0000P1502L0M1.JPG

The disc is in the middle lower portion of the picture (light circle shape) with the minifig (darker oval shape) clearly represented in the middle of the disc.

The top of the DVD is facing NWN, and is adjacent to the area where the rover is to egress the platform.

The red, blue and yellow titanium bricks are represented in the tertiary points around the disc.

Upon receiving these pictures from the Gusev Crater on Mars, the mission director pointed out the LEGO DVD as a clear reference point on the lander.

Simply amazing, and VERY cool indeed!
