From PC World: When we reviewed Amazon’s first foray into the set-top box market way back in April, we noted that its Fire TV would benefit from more apps, HBO Go chief among them. Today, Amazon announced that the premium cable-channel’s service is finally available on that platform, and it's temporarily cutting its price tag to celebrate.
“Since launch we’ve increased the number of services available on Amazon Fire TV by more than 4x,” said Peter Larsen, Vice President Amazon Devices in a press release. “We’re thrilled to add HBO GO, the most requested service, to Fire TV in time for the holidays.”
Amazon is marking the announcement by reducing the Fire TV’s selling price to $79, a $20 reduction that will last through December 28.
The move won't come immediately for those in the cheap seats though. Those who purchased Amazon’s less-expensive Fire TV Stick will have to wait until this spring before they can stream HBO hits such as Game of Thrones, True Detective, and Girls.
