this is so shitty......we are gonna charge more money because we feel like it. How is this helping blu ray become mainstream. Its the same thing with charging extra for hd programming on cable and satellite providers. If hd is the next standard in television viewing, why is everyone trying to make it to be a premium? They should just make more blu rays, phase out dvds, and charge the same.....and netflix, is it really costing you guys more to send me a blu ray over sending me a regular dvd?
They're charging more money because the discs cost more money. If it costs more for Netflix to supply Blu-ray discs, why the hell wouldn't they charge more? Do you think they should just sacrifice their revenues for the benefit of people adopting Blu-ray? Would you if you were running the company?
No, but I assume it costs WAYYYY more when they purchase 10,000 copies of "I am Legend" on BD than it costs to purchase the same amount of the same title on DVD.

They have to pass the cost on at some point.
