See full gallery on TechnoBuffaloSony this week announced its live-streaming TV service, PlayStation Vue, will soon get HBO and Cinemax. Considering HBO is one of the biggest premium cable channels on the market, this is big news for Vue subscribers, and in particular for those looking to cut the cord.
Unfortunately, the new additions are coming at a cost. Both HBO and Cinemax will be available for an additional $15 each per month through PlayStation Vue, which means you’re paying more at the end of the day. The most basic PlayStation Vue plan starts at $39.99 per month and offers subscribers access to over 60 channels; the price can go as high as $54.99 per month for over 100 channels.
Both new channels will be available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 ahead of Westworld’s Oct. 2 premiere, so it won’t be long. If you prefer not to go through Vue to access HBO content, HBO already offers a standalone option with HBO Now, which goes for $15 per month as well.
