I had imagined backing up key file collections to blu-ray too.   
But the inexpensive SD cards and even just the external 3.5"  
250GB HDDs seemed more practical.

I see a 10pk of 50GB Verbatims blu-ray RWs going for $58.

I would just reserve to use those for movies that exceed 4GB FAT  
file size barrier and that I would want to be somewhat durable  
and erasable.  Meanwhile, a couple of 64GB USB thumbdrives have  
been just fine for most everything I watch.
