I think that bigger blu ray discs that hold 100gb are already available commercially so I don't think storage on these discs is the problem.  If optical media cannot produce something for Blu Ray that dramatically increases read speeds then it will be a spent force at some point as writing countless GB's to Hard Drives isnt a long term solution nor is downloading the files themselves either when you consider the size.

In short, they are fantastic for movie watching and recording, all the way up to 4K, but for games, Blu Ray is the major bottleneck in consoles becasue the information cannot be taken off the disc anywhere near quick enough.

In that case maybe my previous suggestion of using some sort of Flash Drives is valid, but something about them is off putting

Possibly.  But again, I "think" that those suffer from read speed issues also compared to actual Hard Drives.  I think that whatever replaces optical media, whatever it is, probably isn't invented yet.  Or if it is invented, its not developed yet to something which would be feasable.
