PS3 Adds HBO on Demand
Posted by Steve Fravel on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 · ·
The Sony Corporation has agreed to provide access to HBO on Demand content via the Playstation 3 game system. Combined with access to programming including Major League Baseball, network television episodes, NetFlix and movies, this creates a formidable alternative for some television viewers looking for content sources.
Initially, HBO will allow PS3 owners to pay for access to at least 11 of its original series. Priced at $2.99 per episode, PS3 owners will be able to watch programming like True Blood, Entourage, Big Love and Curb Your Enthusiasm when they become available for sale via DVD. The access window is roughly 11 months after the show’s original run on the network. HBO will introduce additional titles once each month to build the library of content.
The availability of programming via game platforms like Sony’s Playstation 3 and the Microsoft X Box creates just one more venue for program producers to develop revenue generation. It will be interesting to see if other “premium” program services join HBO and Major League Baseball in providing access to their content via game systems.
