As for using BD as storage, I don't think that will ever happen (at least not more than one layer). Dual-layer DVD-R have been outforever, but does anyone actually use them? They cost more than two individual single-layer DVDs and are slower to burn. I'm guessing multi-layer BD disks will be the same for home users - not used.
