KingofWale, nice attempt at sarcasm. Just remember next time it's goal is to be funny and correct.

While data storage for computers is one of the markets, it's not the only market. It's also a very small market give the price of blank Blu Ray discs. CD and DVD are cheap, ubiquitous and in most cases large enough for their purpose. The most common use of optical burning on a computer is for audio CD's.

Data archival for large file sets are better served by redundant networked storage.

While I understand the point of the thread relates to the movie format, it is because of the other industries that DVD holds sway over that will limit the propagation of Blu Ray. It's also heavily tied to the install base of the PS3 which we know all too well is not enough.
