As a lot of you may know, Netflix recently announced that the prices are going to go up. For unlimited streaming you will pay $7.99, and same for unlimited DVD rentals. If you want unlimited both, you will have to pay $15.98.

A lot of you are thinking, "WTF NETFLIX?!?" Well here is what they are doing. Netflix over the years has been putting many DVD rental businesses out of business. They thought, "Let's make our prices really low, so that way people will forget DVD rentals, and come to us." Now with those companies out of the way, Netflix can raise it's prices. It is believed in the next few years prices may double or even triple what they are now. There will be other companies that do the same thing, such as Hulu.

There is your explanation Smile Hope it cleared up some confusion as to why they felt it was necessary to almost double their prices. Do you think this is fair?

Exactly, we dont. You said it was going to.

But to answer that, the stock market.

The cause of the price increases is the fault of the movie studios, not Netflix.
