HBO Go

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Going online and ditching cable.

This explains why they were allowing subscribers to share their accounts with as many people as they wanted. They were testing the waters.

I'll bet they start to crack the whip now though.

Wasn't it that amazon media box that shipped without HBO Go?

I know my PS3 doesn't have that app available, yet.

No shit? I will look for it in the playstation store. It never auto-loaded itself like other apps have done.

Yep, there's the app available for install.

If this service is released with a price of less than $10/month, I will get it. No more borrowing the internet's copy of GoT while waiting for the blu rays to get released, for me.

I'll pay $10 a month, sure. Although if it doesn't work easily on XBMC I'll probably still use my download system to actually watch it.

If there was another HBO show I was watching regularly I would go 15/month.

Oh right True Detecive (with Collin Farrel and Vince Vaughn)

I assume you would still get live feeds of whatever the 10 HBO channels are showing at any given time?

$15 is a bit much considering I pay 8 for Netflix and get about 100 times more content.

I'm guessing they go for $15.

Looks like I will have to borrow the internet's copy of that thing.

I just checked and I can get a regular HBO package, w/Cinemax, on DirecTV for $18/month, and it said 3 months free.

I think their internet-only pricing is about a third too expensive. I won't be the only one to think that, and the numbers wont be the inflated ones they predicted, and they will blame piracy again.
