News & Reviews:   Netflix Basic

What's a way companies can force people to pay more for services? Either increase prices or remove cheaper subscription options. The first happened with the Xbox PC Game Pass, while Netflix is taking the second option.

Once again, Netflix is announcing another price increase for the Basic and Premium plans. However, it's only starting out in the US, the UK and France for now, according to its third-quarter financial report of 2023 here. 

With all the news about Netflix trying to get rid of password-sharing among Netflix freeloaders, we just got the surprise news of the newly announced price slash for one of the plans. If you're using Netflix Basic, you're in luck because it's now RM28 per month.

Netflix has revealed that it will be upgrading its Basic plan in Malaysia to offer up to 720p HD resolution instead of capping it to 480p SD resolution as it currently is. The change will be made starting this November and will be the first time Netflix has upgraded its Basic plan since its debut in our country in 2016.
