It looks like HBO's exclusive partnership with Xbox has come to an end. HBO GO will be available soon on PS3, with a PS4 release to follow afterwards.

In order to access HBO GO, you'll need a subscription through your cable or satellite provider. Then, using your log-in, you'll be able to stream every episode of every season of many of HBO's most popular programs. There's no word on exactly when it'll drop.

  Is HBO Go a separate service from the TV channel? I missed the premiere of true detective, and would very much like to see it somehow.

      So does it require just a basic cable subscription?

        It requires an HBO subscription. Go just gives you the ability to stream their entire back catalog.

        Good to know. I'm a subscriber, so I can catch that first episode before the new one Sunday. Surprised there aren't any re-airings over the weekend on the TV channel, honestly.

        I've seen a few re-airings on their other channels. And if your local provider has On Demand, it should be on there too.

        Yes, you have to have a cable sub and the HBO channel sub before you can get HBO Go. Which is fucking stupid. I don't have cable and I don't want it, but I would be willing to pay for HBO Go by itself.
