Netflix starts charging $1-$2/month extra for Blu-ray rentals

[admin]

The movies-by-mail giant warned us last week that higher fees for Blu-ray rentals would be coming "very shortly," and indeed, subscribers are already seeing extra charges on their accounts. Luckily, the premiums aren't as bad as some had feared.

Ah, now here's where Blockbuster is handy.

We have the Blockbuster mail-in rental service (Total Access, is it?) and we do not pay extra for Blu-Ray. But we have the option of trading an online rental in in-store for a store rental. These will work with Blu-Ray. So I can get all the free Blu-Ray movies I want without paying any extra... pretty nice, huh?

Same goes with the monthly free e-coupon that says "one movie or game rental". They say movie, not DVD

I hope blu-ray tanks...
