This is pretty awesome news. HBO will be bringing their HBO Go streaming app to mobile devices in the near future (both Android and iOS). This means, that anyone who already has a premium Cable subscription (that is, they're already paying for HBO), will be able to watch any episode from their favorite HBO shows (The Wire, Sopranos, Treme, etc).
Umm, this is awesome! My question is, if there were some way for HBO to offer this à la carte style, where you pay them a subscription fee, would you do it? How much do you think it'd be worth a month? And really, what is stopping them?

dave's pick
I would as long as the price is reasonable. For me that price would be comparable to Netflix's streaming option or Hulu Plus. At the same time, however, me paying for that subscription would be entirely dependent on the content they're currently producing as I can already get their older, exclusive material one way or another through Netflix (even if it is still on a disc). In that case it would be a waste to pay for two subscriptions with overlapping material.

It'd be nice if they would at least offer some sort of streaming-only plan. I love HBO, but I don't love it enough to pay upwards of $30 a month. $10 is more of a sweet spot for it.
Also it looks like if you're a Comcast subscriber, they forward you to xfinitytv.
Weird.
