When, if ever will blu ray drives become standard.

BR will be a short-lived format.

Although i absolutely do not like the idea, the future is download.

 

Well, have fun downloading your 30 GB games.

 

You realize that many companies are rolling out 50mbit and faster connections to the majority of their customers in 2009, don't you?  I guess you'd be downloading your 30GB game for nearly an hour (less time than going to the store and picking it up, though).

I also don't think BD will ever become "standard".   There isn't enough gap between BD and DVD.  Developers are moving toward game downloads, and it took forever to go from CD games to DVD games when DVD was clearly more desirable than BD.
