Chances are that something like holographic discs will be used instead anyway, or maybe something that hasn't even been invented yet. As far as I know Blu-ray holds around 50gb of information, but the holographic discs currently being tested are (I think) 8 layers and can hold 200gb.
Yeah, I actually read a news report on the internet somewhere which said that they are looking into blu-ray disks that actually hold upto 1.5TB!!! Thats just a bit whacky. I cant even imagine anything that would hold that much data. One disk would do you for life hehehe.
