IBT reportsa slew of unexampled ( supposed ) details aboutHBO ’s forthcoming standalone subscription . The name ? HBO Now . How much will it be ? $ 15 . Should you be frantic ? Yes !
According to the report , the net service will be usable this spring in time for Game of Thrones season 5 . Interestingly ( if not surprisingly ) the Apple boob tube will purportedly be one of the launching partners . That ’s wiggly language that does n’t really severalise us whether Apple will have ( presumably clock ) exclusive , which would be a bummer , or if the service launch will also launch on stuff like Amazon ’s Fire TV , Roku , and Android TV boxes like the Nexus Player . As with HBO Go , we would expect the new service to finally make its mode to all streaming box / stick platforms finally .
But maybe the best newsworthiness here is the price : $ 15 a month is n’t super cheap , but compare to the price of cable it ’s nothing — plus , that ’s more or less the toll you make up for HBO when you have a overseas telegram subscription anyway . Finally , you’re able to cut the cord without cut your ties to the drama on Girls . [ IBT ]
