No, actually that hasn't been and even today isn't true. 25x25GB BD/$300=$0.46/GB
100 x 700MB CD/$15 =$0.21/GB 25x8.5 DVD DL/$25=$0.12/GB
1TB HD/$100=$0.10/GB 800GB tape/ $35 = $0.04/GB 100x 4.7GB DVD/$21=$0.04/GB Blu-ray is over 10x more expensive than DVD and almost 5x more than HD server space. Not very attractive.And not very portable since so few use it. As far as using optical media as"insurrance that it won't go away when your hard drive dies" , no thats actually what the RAID is for

I don't think many home users have a RAID set up. And even people that DO have RAID's (including companies) might not have off-site storage. Granted backup tape hasn't been brought up, and is almost certainly cheaper (even cheaper than DVD). That all being said, why do you seem to think blu-ray's prices will remain static? That makes no sense whatsoever. Was DVD the cheapest solution when it came out? I think maybe you should rescind your comment that you're no blu-ray hater - you're coming up with some reasosn that are stretching, to say the least.
