I just recently got HBO Go on my PS3. You know what sucks about it?
Throttling. It can happen at any time and degrade my viewing experience
and there's nothing I can do about it. The picture and audio can look
awful. Sometimes, they're nice, but without a decent bitrate and good
audio, what's the point? I bought an HD TV and surround sound to use them
to their fullest.
