Tony Soprano, Bill Henrickson, Ali G, and other HBO personalities are now available in the U.S. on the PlayStation 3, as Sony has gone and inked a deal to offer HBO programming through the PlayStation Network (PSN), Sony announced this week.
"The HBO library of premium original content is a perfect example of how PS3 has become the most content rich entertainment platform in the living room," said Peter Dille, senior vice president, marketing and PlayStation Network, SCEA. "When you combine the iconic programming from HBO with the existing TV, film, live sports and original programming available on PlayStation Network, our customers have access to the content they want, when they want it, at home or on the go with the PSP."
Several titles are available on the HBO section of PSN, including True Blood (season one and two), Big Love (seasons one through three), Entourage (seasons one and two), Eastbound and Down (season one), and multiple seasons from HBO signature shows such as The Sorpranos, Sex and the City, The Wire, Rome, Da Ali G Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Flight of the Conchords.
Sony says it plans to add more seasons and shows on a weekly basis.

It should read- The HBO library of premium original content is a perfect example of how PS3 will allow you to waste your cash on content that would be better spent on DVD's or BlueRay even.
Just because Sony markets this crap like this doesnt mean you have to follow suit. If I rent a movie from Netflix I can watch it as many times as I want before returning it. If I rent from Sony I can only watch it once. Why would I want to watch it twice? Because maybe I see it and I feel like my GF might want to see it as well. Now If I buy a Movie on disc I can play it in my PS3 or on a dedicate player of my choosing. If I buy a movie on the PS3 I can only watch it on my PS3. Now what if my PS3 dies??? Buying media this way is stupid and pointless.

Unless, like me, you live outside the USA.
