HBO Go - PS3 - No Go?

Hey Gang,

As has been widely reported, it looks like the Xbox 360 is getting HBO Go in its next dashboard update. I've been searching all over the place to see if its going to end up on the PS3 - but I can't find anything. That should probably tell me something in and of itself, but I thought I'd ask anyway - does anybody know if the PS3 will be graced with this anytime soon?

My wife and I are big HBO Go folks - and the Black Friday ads for the cheap 360s seems like a good way to enjoy HBO Go on the plasma. I'd really like it to be available on what I have though.

Thanks !

It'll probably be exclusive on the xbox for a while...probably anywhere from a month to 6 months.
You should be aware that it will in all likelihood be available only to xbox LIVE gold members, so that is an extra $40-$60 a year.
The question is, when it does eventually come to the PS3 will it only be for PSN Plus members? I guess...yes.

PSN Plus - eh. I hadn't even considered that. So I'm probably going to have to wait, and a good chance I'll have to pay anyway.

Thanks for the insight, I might just grab a cheap 360 on Black Friday.

What are you basing that on? None of the other pass through services (Netflix, NFL Ticket, MLB, NHL, Hulu Plus) are PSN Plus only.

If you're interested in a cheaper option for HBO GO, check out any of the Roku devices. The HBO GO channel was pushed down less than two weeks ago. You can pick up a used Roku for under $50.
