A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

"Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said on a conference call that because Blu-ray discs cost more to purchase, the company plans on charging a premium on accounts that rent Blu-ray movies."
No specific amount mentioned. First time I've been glad I use Blockbuster. Whadaya know! Wonder how long it will be before they follow suit.

Thanks, Jack!
If that's the case, I'll switch my preferences back to SD discs. It sounds like a bunch of baloney to me.

Is it really all that surprising? It costs them more to obtain the discs, so they pass the cost to you. Business 101 stuff.
