Netflix Expects 500,000 Blu-ray Users

Video rental company Netflix said in a conference call discussing its third quarter results that it expects about half a million subscribers will sign on to its Blu-ray rental service during this quarter—this after the company announced it will charge an extra $1 a month for access to Blu-ray rentals.

The extra fee—which subscribers don’t have to pay if they aren’t interested in renting Blu-ray movies—reflects the higher cost of Blu-ray discs. The new fee is scheduled to be applied to subscribers’ bills beginning November 5, 2008, if a subscriber had previously enabled Blu-ray rentals on their account.
