New Netflix Pricing gives PS3 Owners the Blues

netflix-disc

In a surprising move, Netflix has announced a price adjustment for their Blu-ray rentals, and it’s not the kind that’ll put a smile on your face. Netflix cites the higher cost of Blu-ray discs as the reason for the price hike, despite the fact that Blu-ray prices have dropped significantly at retail over the past 12 months. For those who already subscribe to Blu-ray titles, the price increase will go into effect on April 27, 2009.
