I wish blue ray 50 GB discs were more used.
They have really good shelf life and it would be awesome for things like yearly backup of your photos or some shit like that.

I have bad news for you - Panasonic, Sony, and Samsung have all stopped production on BR-R discs.

Verbatim still manufactures their DataLifePlus series of BD-Rs, and they are excellent. The market otherwise is pretty bleak… Ritek offers nothing that compares to the DLP discs.
Also, side note, Pioneer (once a leading manufacturer of BD burners), no longer makes them. LG is the lone surviving manufacturer I believe.

Yeah, Verbatim still remains… For now.
Oh that’s right - I forgot that the drives were slowly going disco too. Bleak indeed.
