The price for renting movies at a Blockbuster Express kiosk is about change starting on November 8, 2011. Blockbuster Express will use what it is calling a $3-$2-$1 pricing structure. If you want to rent a new movie within the first 28 days of its release, you’ll have to pay $3 for the first night plus tax. If you want to rent a movie 28 days after it releases, the price will be $2 plus tax, and if you want to rent a movie after the first 90 days of its release, you’ll have to pay $1. An additional $1 fee will also be accessed for Blu-rays and movies that are kept for additional nights.

On October 31, the cost for renting a DVD through Redbox will increase. Don’t worry, it isn’t anything like the 60% Netflix price hike. It’s more like 20%. Instead of paying a $1 to rent movies, the price will be $1.20. It sounds worse than it really is. The price for renting Blu-rays and games will stay the same at $1.50 and $2.00 a night.

Netflix has been causing some bitter feelings lately among its customers. First Netflix redesigned its website much to the dismay of its users. Now they’ve dropped another bomb by announcing that it will eliminate the DVD rental and streaming combo subscription. Starting in September (for existing subscribers), customers who want both services will pay $15.98 a month. That’s an increase of about 60%. So why did Netflix decide to do this?

As far as rumors go, you can take this one with as much salt as you’d like. Yesterday we told you about a new $7.99 Netflix subscription that offers unlimited DVD rentals for a full month. At the time, this new plan seemed reasonable. It’s the same amount Netflix charges for unlimited streaming. Today, a new rumor says Netflix will increase the monthly price for those who want to stream and rent movies at the same time.

Normally when we talk of smartphones and price changes they are going down, but in this case they are going up.

It’s been a long time coming to the US, and now we finally have the option for a Netflix membership that only streams content, no more discs. The new plan doesn’t come without downsides for those who still want to have their discs, however. In matching Netflix’s Canadian plan, the streaming-only option for the US more »

You gotta love loopholes. When Sirius and XM decided to merge, Congress and the FCC had many concerns. As a way of calming those entities, the two companies agreed not to raise the rates on subscription and programming packages.
