Inb4WheresTheInstantVideoAndroidApp. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s move forward with today’s story — HBO content has arrived in Amazon Instant Video. All episodes of some classic HBO series, and select episodes of newer series are being offered up to those opting to pay $99 per year for Amazon Prime. Here’s the full slate of shows being made available:

  • All seasons of revered classics such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Rome and Six Feet Under, and of recent favorites such as Eastbound & Down, Enlightened and Flight of the Conchords
  • Select seasons of current series such as True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and Treme
  • Epic miniseries, including Band of Brothers, The Pacific, John Adams, Parade’s End and Angels in America
  • Hit original movies like Mary and Martha, Temple Grandin and You Don’t Know Jack
  • Hilarious original comedy specials from Louis CK, Ellen DeGeneres, Lewis Black and Bill Maher
  • Pedigreed documentaries including When the Levees Broke, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib and the Autopsy and Iceman series

And the buck won’t stop there. More series and episodes are bound to become available in the future (remember, Amazon can only get content three years after its original air date) so dig in for now, and stay tuned for the rest. Kindle Fire, iPad, Amazon Fire TV and web users definitely have reason to celebrate. Everyone else? Well, there’s always HBO Go.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

Google says they could probably put ads on everything under the sun

  1. Amazon is stingy.. Where’s our Android streaming app?! I pay for prime damn it!

    1. They probably think consumers would buy a kindle or fire tv just to have a instant video streaming app.

  2. How do you have Game of Thrones in the image but its not part of this deal? Damn tease.

  3. Anybody seen band of brothers? Any good?

    1. One of the best shows I have ever watched.

    2. Superb miniseries and far better than “The Pacific” IMHO

  4. Woo hoo! Not I just need time to watch a bit.

  5. There are many positives attached with Hbo Go and it also brings some amazing seasons this summer like Game of thrones, family tree. But as we all know that Netflix represents Geo-restricted content. So, don’t let Geo-restrictions get in our way. If we setup VPN we can Watch these amazing seasons even from outside USA. Here is the list of top VPNs for HBO that allow you to access your amazing seasons on HBO http://www.vpnranks.com/how-to-watch-hbo-outside-us/

    I have also gathered few amazing tweets in response to game of thrones mocking bird http://goo.gl/PvAfBc
