You can now buy episodes of HBO shows like Game of Thrones, The Newsroom, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Girls, Veep and The Wire from Google Play. Individual episodes cost $1.99 to 2.99 (or $3.99 if you want high-definition), or you can purchase full seasons for $19 to $29.

The cable channel said this was just the beginning of the partnership, according to Engadget. It plans to put more content up soon, such as HBO documentaries.



The prices aren't terribly high, but they could make the a-la-carte options unattractive for binge watchers. An HBO subscription only costs around $10 to 15 per month depending on the cable provider, and it comes with HBO Go, giving subscribers online access to all of the channel's content on a variety of screens. But for anyone who just wants to watch a season or two, or for those that don't buy cable, this provides the first legal way to get HBO content without paying a subscription fee.
