When one talks about Blu-ray discs, most of the time we would figure out that these are the medium of choice for Full HD movies in your living room, as well as the place where PS3 games are stored. However, it seems that Blu-ray discs could have a potentially far reaching influence rather than being limited to mere movies and video games.
