Or buy a physical DVD boxed set on sale for less, that will work on every gaming console (including the Wii, with a server workaround) and Media Player, and allow you to make a digital backup for use on your iPhone/iPad/Laptop free of charge.

Using Media Server workarounds (TVersity and the like), it's possible to get streaming content from just about every major network, broadcasted sport, Netflix [without a disc], and working Hulu support.
One day they'll figure it out.
I just don't like it. But I guess it's necessary to fill psn's movie side with as much content as possible. So w/e
Dude, can you come over to my house and show me how to do everything you just talked about? I was tech savvy at one point in my life, but old age has killed that...
PS3 Media Server, TVersity, and PlayOn would be things to check out :D
All of these work interchangeably on the 360 and PS3 (even PS3 Media Server).
All of these can access proxy content, and all of your computer's media. Combined with a PSP, Remote Play, and a TV Out Cable, you can access all of your media anywhere in the world, so long as your PSP has a wifi connection.
Which is why buying a physical DVD set is so crucial. You can dump all your content onto a Hard-Drive digitally, then access it remotely from any device you want.
Totally, it's depressing when I read about FREE MOVIE day or what not on the PSN as we still have nothing.....WTF!?
To me, these days, I just refer to HBO as "Bill Mahar's latest place to hide."
Or Sony and HBO come to an agreement that they're greedy assholes and don't wanna share profit. Thus ends up with piracy winning the battle of digital content-sharing all over the internet. And these companies are wondering why they aren't making money.
Sopranos - Pure Awesome, have seen all seasons back to back to back to back.
What's this new one about bikers? Looks pretty cool.
HBO on my PS3? Yes Please! Oh wait, I'm in the UK so i'll have to wait another year or so beore we even get the first season of Lost!
Fuck it, back to the torrents, which i play on my PS3 via media server anyway.
Wirelessly streaming downloaded TV shows from laptop to PS3/HD TV is pure win and fully devalues this service.
One day government will get its act together and force platform developers to allow open development of software and services as a licensing requirement. We already have everything we need technically in PCs for great media delivery, but we're still taking baby steps because most of the braindead market prefers proprietary consoles and television as their delivery platform.
Just to put this out there - I really hope nobody here actually chooses to spend their money on television. Those that live in the US can at least use Netflix instead.
TV and its 30% unskippable ads definitely need to die ASAP, so we can finally have a user-driven media system where you only pull down the content you actually want to watch. They could advertise just fine in the background during the browsing portion. There could be some sort of virtual TV-channel system for lazy people that mixes in ads and suggests what shows they might like. Right now it's basically the same as leaving the tap on all day on the off chance that you might need some water.
Haven't we already gone over the deep end of ridiculous? Paging through 1000 channels, seriously? People prefer that to interactive searching?
Even if it did, I already have HBO in high def.... so I doubt I'd use it.
