It may be the future if current video media, but as fast as things change,
I 
wonder about that really. HD disc technology is changing real fast and I 
honestly wonder if BR will be like what DVD is right now. I am not saying 
you're wrong, but the time frames from VHS to DVD, then from DVD to HD
discs 
is telling. I will contend your PC statement though. BR is not in any way 
cost effect as a storage device or medium for PC. Firstly, it is too
costly. 
I can get a 200gig external HDD for 1/4 the price of of a BR internal
burner 
and a BR blank disc. Not only that, the transfer data rate on even USB 2.0

still smokes the fastest BR readers (let alone writing data). Keep in mind

also, that BR does not come on a re-writeable disc, so if you screw up the

burn, you eat a rather expensive disc. HDDs can written over and over
again.
