Netflix to invest in expanding Blu-ray movie inventory
March 14th, 2008 - Posted by Joe
Netflix, our top rated online dvd rental service, expects to increase their blu-ray high definition dvd inventory by 1,300-1,500 titles including both new releases and older films.
According to the company's CFO, Barry McCarthy, high definition dvds only account for a small single digit percentage of movie rentals at Netflix. The move to increase the number of dvds on Sony's blu-ray format is likely driven by the fact that the competing HD DVD format is being discontinued by Toshiba.
Blu-ray dvds have are about 28% more expensive that standard dvds, which will increase Netflix's overall costs to provide movies in the high definition format. the company has no immediate plans to increase pricing as a result. In fact, Netflix actually dropped subscription prices last summer.
As blu-ray players drop in price and more movie titles become available on the format, we think Netflix will be an excellent option for consumers that want a high definition movie experience at home.

You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I realize that topic being really an issue that I believe I would in no way understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for the next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
