They are going to have to get costs WAY down, if they want BD to be a viable data back-up system. You can get a 250 Gig portable hard drive that's 5" X 3" (approx). See link below. Granted its $180, but thats a cheaper price than 5 BD-Rs, and prices will go down.
I agree with your comments about movies.
enjoy,
Jack

I've seen ads for external cases that, with rebate or coupon, are close to $0. Throw in a sale or rebate on internal hard drives (I've bought 250GB drives for $49 and 200GB drives for $39) and you're looking at <$60 w/tax for 250 portable gigabytes. CompUSA had 200GB hard drives on sale Black Friday before last, while they lasted (less than 1 minute after the doors opened), for $29!!!
I'm sure the 50GB discs will be down to <$10 a pop in a few years. Too much competition for them not to. The question is, will it be too late?
