Netflix jacks the price for Blu-ray rental

Posted by racerguy on March 30, 2009 at 13:49:52

Just got a notice that Netflix is increasing their "Blu-ray Access" surcharge from $1 a month to $6 a month. That's a huge jump, and very disappointing. Since the Blu-ray library doesn't have a whole bunch of stuff I'm particularly interested in, my rentals have been maybe one Blu-ray disc a month at most. A 600% increase in monthly charges is ridiculous. I've removed Blu-ray access and downgraded my Netflix account.

Hopefully others will do the same. $6/month additional for the "privilege" of renting Blu-ray discs seems like a rip-off.
