Bubble EU: Netflix raises prices

Netflix raised the prices for new customers in Europe for both disc and digital users. Here’s what The Hollywood Reporter has had to say:

The increase, which will only affect new customers, will see the price for a standard Netflix subscription increase from just under $10 (€8.99) a month to just over $11 (€9.99). 

In the mail to Netflix users, the company wrote that the price increase was necessary to “continue providing good series and films.” Netflix’ basic, non-HD subscription will remain unchanged at $8.86 (€7.99) a month, as will its premium subscription at $13.30 (€11.99). 

The increase will affect most European countries where Netflix operates, including Germany, France and the Netherlands. In Switzerland, the company announced a similar hike, increasing its standard subscription to $15.26 (CHF 14.90) a month from $13.20 (CHF 12.90). Netflix made a similar price increase in the UK and on some of its Nordic offerings earlier this year.

The increase doesn’t seem major, and it’s still a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a movie or a season’s worth of episodes for a show.
