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.

Actually, the first holographic disks/drives are supposed to come out this fall:

Not for end users yet, but they're coming.
