Well I thought about using them instead of buying a hdd, I looked for some comparisons and found a 50 pack of 25gb blu ray drives and a 2tb harddrive for 60, it can store 35 movies more (thinking the movie is 24 GB) than the pack of drives, and that isn't accounting the disk drive to read the disks (Keep in mind these are just the first results on Google for me)

In my opinion the blu ray drives are more fun to use than clicking a file on a computer, but the storage payoff is huge

What is your opinion on this?

PS: I'm definitely buying the hdd instead

I enjoy storing things in blu rays but I splurge and get the rewritable ones, it's definitely more expensive than buying an hdd
