Netflix introduces 5.1 surround sound

Netflix is preparing itself to roll out a big upgrade in the coming year, where it will include 5.1 surround sound streaming for an even more realistic movie watching experience, complete with close captioning. While there are no further details furnished to the masses, including the availability date as well as the kind of titles that support 5.1 surround sound, it is nice to see Netflix making progress in terms of technology. So far, there is no mention on a price increase for the upgrade, so hopefully everything will remain the same in these economically trying times.
