This is great news as my favorite shows are on HBO, including True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones. Too bad this year will be the last season for True Blood & Boardwalk Empire, but at least there will still be GOT
Phil Rosenberg, Senior VP of Business Development at SCEA posted to the PlayStation blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/01/16/hbo-go-for-ps3-coming-soo...) saying: "With the HBO GO app on your PlayStation system and an HBO subscription via your cable or satellite provider, you’ll have unlimited, on-demand access to your favorite HBO shows, like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and True Detective. HBO GO offers every episode of every season of the network’s best shows. You can also enjoy hit movies, sports, documentaries, and comedy specials, as well as special behind-the-scenes extras."
