HBO Go, the popular streaming application from Home Box Office, will soon be making an appearance over Xbox Live. At an HBO event last night, company co-president Eric Kessler made the announcement that the app would be available come April 1st. This could be an elaborate April Fools prank, but I think not.
Don’t get too excited though, this isn’t free. Those who download the app will be required to have an active HBO subscription to access all of its content. It’s disappointing, but understandable. The good news is that Xbox Live’s content continues to grow, and that should always be the case.
