HBO GO Launches On Xbox 360: 10 Movies, Series And Documentaries To Watch Via Xbox Live
HBO GO, HBO's online streaming service for customers, is now on Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 in app form.
HBO GO can be accessed by current HBO customers. Microsoft today is also launching an MLB.TV app for those with an MLB.TV subscription as well as apps from Comcast Xfinity.
By continuing to add entertainment apps and making it easier to enjoy your favorite TV shows, sports and music with voice control and Kinect voice search, Xbox has grown rapidly to become the best-selling Internet-connected entertainment device for TV, Microsoft said in a statement.
Now that Xbox 360 users and HBO subscribers have a huge selection of titles at their fingertips, here's a list of 10 things to watch on HBO GO now that it's come to Xbox Live:
1. Game of Thrones Season 1
The hit HBO series is gearing up for its second season, premiering Sunday. But you can catch up on the medieval fantasy series based on the George R.R. Martin book before Season 2 starts.
2. The Sopranos
If you've never watched the critically-acclaimed series, you can watch the mob series from start to the heavily debated finale on HBO GO.
3. Game Change
The controversial HBO film about the 2008 presidential campaign, which mostly focuses on then-GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's choosing of Sarah Palin as a running mate. The film depicts Palin as a bumbling politico unprepared for the national stage. The movie is one of 298 in HBO GO's catalogue.
4. Moonstruck
Cher took home a Best Actress Oscar for this 1987 rom-com and Olympia Dukakis won Best Supporting Oscar for a film that also starred a young Nicholas cage. Moonstruck also was awarded Best Screenplay.

This 1983 tearjerker picked up Oscar wins for Best Picture, Best Direction for James L. Brooks, Best Actor for Jack Nicholson and Best Actress for Shirley MacLaine to go along with a best adapted screenplay win.
Debra Winger also gave a remarkable performance as MacLaine's daughter who succumbs to cancer. Her speech to her young boys as she's dying is one of the best in film history to go along with MacLaine's Give my daughter the shot! speech.
