The time is running out on August, and with it goes the existence of Netflix’s streaming and disc services as a single package for $7.99. Keeping both (at the 1-disc plan) will require a $15.98 payout each month starting tomorrow , but when you’re one of many many crying loud and sometimes that they will downgrade or cancel in preference to pay more then hang on — you will be capable of squeeze just a few extra days from your current package. Hacking Netflix points out that the cost won’t actually switch until your “Next Billing Date” after September 1st. For us that isn’t until 17th, so we’ve got a pair more weeks to continue not watching the rented discs which have been languishing on our coffee tables without paying extra for the privilege . Your date may vary, so take a look at your account page to determine the specifics. For sure, we’re wondering that once the shock has worn off, is everyone still escaping to friendlier locales , scaling back their Netflix subs or simply eating the additional charge?

What will you do now that Netflix is raising its prices?
