There is little reason for people to burn BDs really. It's cheaper and more convenient to get a bigger HDD.

DVDs and CDs are pretty much equally unneccessary to burn, but for them there is still the usage of an AVI player or handing them out to people if you have to distribute something large enough.
Just for portability's sake and giving some data to a single person, USB HDDs and memory sticks once again do the job more conveniently.

I rather have a backup on a disc, than to find my HDD failed. I personally back up on HDD and DVD, once I have enough data to use the disc up. In till SD cards or SSD become afordable (I'm talking 1TB SD/SSD), discs will last for a while.
