How do you delete those boxes? Ugh...anyway...
Actually, even the writable Blu-rays, unlike HD-DVDs, are scratch proof. You can sandpaper the data side and it will still work. Blu-rays have a protective layer due to the data being so close to the edge of the disc (allowing the 200GB theoritical instead of the 75GB I think for hd-dvd). Blu-ray is larger, scratchproof, and allows all the best video and sound formats. It is technically superior.
I love renting games now knowing that no matter what the previous user did to the discs, it will work. Fingerprints, scratches, drinks, it doesn't matter. All blu-ray discs protective coating. I think BD-Rs are more reliable than hard drives now.
