Netflix to hike up monthly Blu-ray fee by up to $8

On Monday, Netflix announced that the privilege to rent Blu-ray titles would be going up in price, beginning April 26. Citing the significant increase in the number of titles releasing on Blu-ray and the high cost of the discs over traditional DVDs, that comes out to a raise of anywhere from $1 to an additional $8 over what users were previously paying, for a total of $9 a month extra for its heavy renters.

Here comes another "excuse" for the rippers...

Guess those $1 kiosks are going to get a urge soon.

Yuh, I got my notice from Netflix but it's only going up $2.00 for me which is a total of $3.00 a month. I'm okay with that price change. If it went up to like $10.00 then that's another story. I'm not a heavy Blu-ray renter and I sometimes take 2 weeks before I return any dvd or blu-ray movie back to Netflix.
