Got an email from netflix stating that the price for bluray rentals is going up... see below: Dear David,
You are receiving this email because you added unlimited Blu-ray access to your account for $1 a month. The number of Blu-ray titles has increased significantly and will continue to do so. As we buy more, you are able to choose from a rapidly expanding selection of Blu-ray titles. And as you've probably heard, Blu-ray discs are substantially more expensive than standard definition DVDs.
As a result, the monthly charge for Blu-ray access is increasing for most plans and will now vary by plan. The charge for monthly Blu-ray access on your 2 DVDs at-a-time (Unlimited) plan will increase from $1 a month to $3 a month. The price of your 2 DVDs at-a-time (Unlimited) plan is not changing and remains at $13.99 a month.
The new charge for Blu-ray access will be automatically added to your next billing statement on or after April 27, 2009 and will be referenced in your Membership Terms and Details.
If you wish to continue unlimited Blu-ray access for $3 a month, you don't need to do anything. If not, you can remove Blu-ray access anytime by visiting Your Account.
If you have questions about this change or need any assistance, please call us anytime at 1-888-923-0898.

Wait, yours said $3? Mine says $4. Oh, never mind, it's because I have the 3-at-a-time plan, but still, that's pretty sick that now there are different charges based on plan.

Yeah, mine was $2. I have the one-at-a-time plan.

I don't have a blu-ray player, so my plan is unchanged....

Crap. I read the notice and saw $1 increase for Blu-Ray. I did not read further. Anyone recall what the Blu-Ray up charge was for the 4 movie plan. Since we got the Comcast DVR we do not need 4 movies at once, but I never changed it.

based on other posts I would say that the formula is as follows
base price +$n+$1
where n is the number of movies out at a time you have.
However, if you already had an account with bluray you have already been paying the extra dollar so you should only see an increase in the amount of 1 dollar for every movie out at a time you are allowed to have under your plan.

Mine's $9 more a month now. Still, I'm not complaining, I've been getting almost Blu-rays exclusively from Netflix now; about 10 a week. I'll just have to push that to 12, to get my money's worth.
I did write to them and whine a little about the fact that some Blu-rays have been in a Wait since their release months ago, and if I'm paying more they need to buy more copies. Three of those Long Waits are scheduled to ship today. Coincidence?

One or two a night, if I watch them early in the week I'll get replacements before the week is up, and then I watch anything I have left over the weekend.
I don't have cable or sat., just download a few must-see shows from the Internet. So if my TV is on its usually playing a disc.
