Bill Maher. Entourage. True Blood.

There will be a few issues with getting such content onto Zune Marketplace and that is A: Licencing from HBO themselves, and B: the fact that much of these shows have violence, nudity, and or swearing, and lets face it, we love it when naked people swear at each other.

I think it would be a huge addition to Zune Video though, I mean, everyone has Southpark and stuff like that, but offering HBO would be a massive thing, and not just for Zune users but XBL users as well!

re: HBO and Showtime?

With the merging into the xbox coming soon, they're going to have to branch out to more networks, otherwise competition with the itunes store and netflix will just cause it to flop. HBO would be great, especially if purchased items could be streamed to the 360, as itunes stuff has yucky drm that doesn't allow it. =[

re: HBO and Showtime?

Entourage, Sopranos, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City (lord know I won't buy this but there's a market for it), Weeds, Californication, the list goes on and on. Definitely would be into Entourage. I don't have HBO, but considering it is definitely a "guy's" show, I've been hearing good stuff about it and would definitely check it out if made available in the marketplace. Another "guy's" show that I just tivoed and will be catching up on is this new show on FX called "The League" that centers around these guys who operate a fantasy league. Heard some funny stuff about it from friends. Might be worth adding as well. Matter of fact, any FX series would be a welcome addition to the marketplace.
