The thing that really sucks about optical media is that it has been controlled by the media cartel meaning hollywood instead of tech companies. So were screwed out of a viable digital storage media because of greedy assholes. I'd buy a BLu-ray drive RIGHT NOW if the media didn't cost $66 for a 5 pack of 100GB discs or $90 for a 50 pack of 50GB. That's more per GB than SSD or spinning rust. If the cost of the discs was 1/10th I'd already own one.
