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.
