i could make use of them too.
i download anime that isen't licensed in america (thus it is legal to download it). i got 145 dvds of it burnt and another 500gb+ on my pc waiting to be burnt. its just a matter of finding the time to spend 2-3 days burning 100+ dvds.
of course, one must also consider that burning a 50gb blu-ray disc at 2x would probably also take longer then burning 10 dvds at 16x. so doesn't really save time at all. its just a matter of convience (this could be completly wrong though, i don't know what the data transfer rates for blu-ray are).
as i said earlier though, its in no way cost effecient.
even at 500gb. a 100pack of dvds is only 30-50 dollars.
10 blue-ray discs would cost over $150, plus another $500 for the burner.
and theres occasionally times when discs don't burn correctly. so theres a wasted 15 dollars.
a somewhat good and cheap alternative is external hard drives.
only around $120 for a 500gb hard drive at newegg.com. buy a few, get a usb drive encloser, put one of the hard drives in it, fill it, take the drive out of it and put it in an anti-static bag, in a foam sleeve, in a box in your closet for when you need it in the future. nicely protected, great storage.
