First, it's blu-ray, not "blue-ray." .

Second, the point isn't whether or not it can be afforded. The point is whether the rationale given for the increase is legitimate, and it is not. And your ATM analogy is weak. Putting it back to you, I imagine you will happily continue to pay $25.00 for checked bags for air travel based on the airlines' rationale of "high gas prices," when oil is now back under $70.00/barrel. Once these fees get added, they don't get rescinded, even if the purported basis for them to be imposed in the first instance vanishes.

The price difference between blu-ray and DVD is marginal. It will continue to decrease over time, particularly as more people adopt, which they will, particularly with Christmas coming up. Nevertheless, Netflix will continue to charge blu-ray members $1.00/month more in perpetuity. It was and remains a rip-off

It's a total ripoff
