Netflix $1/month Blu-ray surcharge

Netflix, Inc.

Beginning November 5th (remember remember) Netflix will begin charging a one dollar per month premium for unlimited Blu-ray rental access. This $1/month will be in addition to the standard membership charge. The extra fee doesn't seem too exorbitant considering that Blu-ray discs cost significantly more than DVD 's. Let's hope this means no more long wait queues since Netflix will be increasing their Blu-ray inventory!

The monthly plans:
  • $5 - 1 disc at a time - limit 2 discs per month and 2 hours of streaming
  • $9 - 1 disc at a time - unlimited exchanges and streaming
  • $14 - 2 discs at a time - unlimited exchanges and streaming
  • $17 - 3 discs at a time - unlimited exchanges and streaming

Since the $1/month Blu-ray fee is the same for all plans the $17 plan offers the best Blu-ray for the buck. And remember with Netflix you get free shipping both ways, there are no due dates or late fees, and you can cancel at anytime.
