It will free up some time for developers not having to worry too much about compression or cutting stuff or how to split game content over multiple discs. Instead that time can hopefully be spend on adding bonus stuff again like making of videos and concept art if the room is there anyway.
Personally I'm hoping for the comeback of pre-rendered cut scenes perhaps with characters rendered into pre-rendered backgrounds. Tighter more focussed cutscenese without loading times that show off the artwork in the best possible way, while all the loading is done in the background.
As for blu-ray movies, it looks like the industry is quite happy to keep the price high and the adoption low. There seems no real intent to lower the prices of blu-ray for mass adoption ($39 for 3D blu-rays really?) so I guess it's going to stay along dvd for a long time to come.
