Cinema Paradiso disc rental price increases

[darkblade]

I (and a few others I know) have had an email through this morning announcing a price rise, apparently due to Royal Mail putting up their prices.
The thing is, the increase is over 30% - although I think others are paying more than me for the same service.

Not looking good for CP as I think most are cancelling.
Anyone else thinking of ditching?
The other option is to put the account on freeze, every other month for example.

I'm amazed a business model like this still exists in 2023. Wasn't this what blockbuster was doing 10+ years ago, and preference back then was mostly in favour of online streaming.

UHD 4k on disc provides the best quality for those that have dedicated home cinema setups - obviously a much smaller market than the days of Blockbuster.
Also, not all films are prompt at being available on streaming services (unless it's Disney etc).
