The online movie rental service Netflix has announced today that it will begin charging extra for Blu-ray DVD rentals. In an e-mail sent out to members today, the rental giant said that since Blu-ray is a more expensive product to stock, the company will begin charging an extra $1 per month (plus tax) for access to the Blu-ray discs. The new payment will be automatic unless members opt out by removing Blu-ray access from their accounts. The new terms go in effect November 5, so any bills after that date will have your costs go up by a buck.
Paired with the streaming movies that will soon be offered by the New Xbox Experience, charging extra for the hi-def format (widely associated with the PlayStation 3) might make the Xbox 360 a more appealing proposition for Netflix members. Then again, the 360 streaming won't be in hi-definition, and a dollar per month is hardly much to ask for sharper picture and sound.
