HBO TV became available on PlayStation 3 and PSP game systems today, just one other way to watch your favorite shows On-Demand.

Episodes of True Blood, seasons one and two, are now available through the PlayStation Store. Other series offered include Eastbound and DownCurb Your Enthusiasm, The Wire, Entourage, Big Love, Sex in the City, The Sopranos, Flight of the Conchords, and Rome.

Each episode will run users around $2.99 (which is about $2 more than other programming available for the PS3). The PS3 viewer will also have to wait until the shows come to dvd, which is when they’re available at the PlayStation store.

“HBO is a high-profile content provider, and a real premium service, so we think this really reinforces that the PlayStation is more than just a videogame console now,” said Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Jack Tretton. “It gives consumers that big-screen, HD experience in the home on a device other than cable and satellite, and that’s becoming the norm now as opposed to the exception.”
