Netflix Raises Rates for Blu-ray Purchases

In an email sent to subscribers yesterday, the popular web-based movie renter Netflix altered that they would be applying a one dollar surcharge to those members who rent Blu-ray titles beginning with the next billing cycle. Netflix had been floating the idea for many months, including increasing monthly fees to a select test group.

Blockbuster Online, the company's main rival, has not announced similar plans at this time.
