Netflix and the Blu-Ray Premium

March 30, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Have you read the latest news from Netflix? If you own a Blu-Ray player (PS3) like myself and you use Netflix to rent Blu-Ray videos, you are now subject to a higher monthly fee. I’m currently subscribed to the two-videos-at-a-time plan, which puts me at a three dollar premium. Oh no!

So really, why does anybody care? If you own a Blu-Ray player, you can afford three bucks a month. PC World says, “Time to Switch to Blockbuster?” Give me a break. There’s a reason you chose Netflix, and it’s not for the price. The evil blue empire has run local video shops out of business for years. It’s about time someone challenged them at their own game.

Be a champ, don’t make the switch. Either pay the premium or watch normal DVDs for the same old price.
