Plus you can store more games on each one. Don't they cost quite a bit per disc though?

You can get a 50 pack of Verbatim's standard BD-R for ~$40 AUD, or their premium Datalifeplus discs for ~$100 AUD. I've used both of these discs, and I've run burn quality tests and they're both great. This is just talking about single layer discs, so 25GB per disc. 50GB discs are reasonably priced, 100GB and 128GB start getting a bit rich.

Oh yeah, its the very long life ones I was thinking of that cost a lot. If there are more regular ones at lower prices with still a moderate lifespan then that probably makes more sense.
