Playstation 3 owners can now stream episodes of "The Sopranos," "The Wire" and other HBO classics.

Richard Pleper, HBO CEO, announced in January that the HBO GO app would be coming to the PlayStation 3, according to the PlayStation blog. 

The PlayStation blog says that HBO GO will eventually come to the PS4 as well. "We are also working diligently with HBO to bring the HBO GO app to PS4," the blog states. "Keep checking PlayStation.Blog for updates."

One of the frustrations people have had with HBO GO is that it is not available as its own service, much like Netflix. You need to pay for the HBO channel through your cable provider in order to have access.

Comcast did offer an HBO GO-only option that would combine the channel service and Internet. It started at $40 and went up to $50 a month for a year, which would then increase to $70 to $80.

Faced with the service's expensive price tag, many have taken to borrowing friends' and relatives' accounts.

Pleper didn't see sharing as a problem for their business. "To us, it's a terrific marketing vehicle for the next generation of viewers, and to us, it is actually not material at all to business growth," he said.

HBO has one motto. "What we're in the business of doing is building addicts, of building video addicts," he adds. "The way we do that is by exposing our product, our brand, our shows, to more and more people."
