Netflix Ups It’s Blu-Ray Subscription Price

While the economy is hurting pretty bad, Netflix decided now would be a good time to increase the price for Blu-Ray movies. If you, like me, are a Blu-Ray fanatic then you should probably take note that you’ll be paying a little more per month for Blu-Ray rental capabilitiies.

Netflix is increasing the subscription price on November 5th by $1.00, plus any taxes (Which, in California comes to around $1.08). A small price to pay indeed, but kind of annoying.

Below is the email I received from Netflix regarding the price change:

Dear Tyler,

As you may know, Blu-ray movies are more expensive than standard definition movies. As a result, we’re going to start charging $1 a month (plus applicable taxes), in addition to your monthly membership charge, for unlimited access to Blu-ray movies.

The additional charge for unlimited Blu-ray access will be automatically added to your next billing statement on or after November 5th, 2008 and will be referenced in your Membership Terms and Details. If you wish to continue getting Blu-ray movies for $1 a month more, you don’t need to do anything. If not, you can remove Blu-ray access anytime by visiting Your Account at the Netflix website.

If you have questions about this change or need any assistance, please call us anytime at 1-888-638-3549.
