Netflix Raises Blu-ray Prices Again

A bit of a "good news / bad news" coming out of the folks at Netflix today. The company announced today that it will be raising prices again for those of you that have added Blu-ray access on your accounts. The good news is that their Blu-ray selection has grown 60% and almost 10% of the Netflix members get Blu-ray movies.

The number of titles available for us to purchase on Blu-ray has increased significantly. Our Blu-ray selection has grown more than 60% in just 6 months to over 1,300 titles, and is continuing to expand quickly. Blu-ray adoption among our members has also grown – it’s now close to 10%. As we buy more, you are able to choose from a rapidly expanding selection of Blu-ray titles. And as you’ve probably heard, Blu-ray discs are substantially more expensive than standard definition DVDs – often as much as 30% more.
