My understanding of their price hike is that the studios are ganking them for more money because they got a better than great deal in the past. Now that the studios are threatening to take their titles off the shelf unless they get more money, netflix only option to stay profitable is to charge a higher rate. I don't blame netflix, I blame the studios on this, they are going all RIAA (or rather MPAA) on netflix because they are scared of a changing bussiness model, and they dont understand how to deal with it.
