HBO content not coming to PAL territories

PS3 Attitude write: "While our American readers can enjoy quality programming such True Blood, Entourage and Flight of the Conchords – thanks to a new partnership between Sony and the premium cable-television network, HBO – us here in PAL territories won’t be so fortunate."

[Hellsvacancy]

Thats a shame (that really is sarcasm)

[-Alpha]

It is a shame. Here in Canada we don't even have a video store which sucks a lot. PSN+ ought to bring it over here, it would be a good incentive to upgrade for PAL regions.

I think it's a misstep on Sony's part as well(just a misstep not a full blown mistake) they can bring other territories it would be wise to take full advantage of this already smart deal. I know Sony is planning on doing more with this.

Sony isn't just downloading the episodes and hosting them on their servers. They have to abide by laws & international laws as far as the content goes.

maybe if the laws in your regions were easier to take care of, you'd get the content.

Seeing as how they aren't, you wont.

Sony wants to milk everyone not just americans. Its not like they are doing it out of spite. It will happen when they decide its going to happen.

god.

You OK Greywulf? You sound tense. I never said Sony did it out of spite, neither did anyone else here. We are just expressing how much it sucks.

You do realize that his may be HBO's fault, right?

Hopefully they put The Wire, Six Feet Under, and other HBO classics on the Playstation Store.

[Lucreto]

I wasn't expecting it as there is no one group that has all the HBO programmes.

There would be a lot on legal work to sort it all out.

[Godmars290]

Question is, is HBO on in the UK. If not you gt legal issues, and if it is it'll be on in a few months if not weeks.

[NYC_Gamer]

do they even have hbo out there?

[Perkel]

yep

[IronFistChinMi]

No, we don't. We get their shows, but they all air on different channels.

[Milky]

all there shows are on different channels in the UK.

[MaximusPrime]

On top of BBC iplayer, sky player apparently coming to PS3. So us brits will have plenty to enjoy.

HBO not coming to Europe is not a surprising news. Since all of HBO shows are shown on various channels.

[BeaArthur]

I'd be interested if it was free.

[washingmachine]

dont really care,just download the shows etc

[Demons Souls]

HBO is not your PAL.

[IronFistChinMi]

Superb!

[divideby0]

we have cable and HBO is our most watched channel.
what us cable subscribers want is the NFL ticket....If Sony made a deal to broadcast that from DTV, since Cable will not....boom mega seller for sony
