Wecome the the world of Blu-ray win.

Bad news today for home theater fans: Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said on a conference call that because Blu-ray discs cost more to purchase, the company plans on charging a premium on accounts that rent Blu-ray movies. Hastings said "consumers are used to paying more for high-definition," but with Blu-ray renters making up only a small percentage of Netflix subscribers, this certainly won't help spur adoption.

Previous to this announcement, videophiles have pretty much gotten a free-ride on renting higher-priced high-definition media, as Netflix offered both HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs to subscribers for no additional charge over a standard subscription--until Netflix stopped offering HD DVDs in February. Netflix continues to offer the ability to watch some movies online ("Watch Now") at no additional charge, but the selection is still pretty limited at this point (check out our hands-on from last year).

Sounds logic :).

Makes sense. But shouldn't be too much more, Blockbuster only charges $1 extra for High-Def movies where I live.

Exactly, doesnt suprise me... a little bit extra doesn't hurt, its hidef... if u dont like, dont buy

360 and PS3 games cost 10$ more than PS2 and Xbox games.

Your point ?

So you get to have either a regular account, where you can't download Blu-Ray movies, or the premium account where you can download Blu-Ray movies.

It can't really be that much more. Maybe 1-2 bucks more per month per how many discs you can rent concurrently. Doesn't seem too bad.

I guess none of you mind paying more, I guess that's your choice.

But now that the war is over, disc prices are going up, player prices are going up, and now rental prices are going up.

That's progress right?

Hmmm.... I didn't expect this, though I guess I should have.
