The comments section on Netflix' website already has over 400 angry entries, even though the announcement was made just a few hours ago. Looks like most of the posters are taking the same approach I am - deleting Blu-ray "access" and downgrading (or cancelling) their accounts.

When Netflix originally added the $1 Blu-ray "access" charge last year, their position was that consumers who watch HD content are used to paying more. I'm sure that was one of the internal justifications they used to jack the price just a short time later. I hope it backfires on them in a big way.
