    Blueray and Backing Up Games?

    Hi ive been wondering this for  while. I would like to know is it possable to backup games on BD-R's or is it only for movies? I ask cause i see that the Blueray disks are like 25GB each. The games i have on EA Link,Steam,D2D,GamersGate, etc. are more than my 4GB DVD-R's :(

    So if i get a BD-R Drive and some BD-R disks can i backup my games?

     

    Thank you inadvance for the help

    Yes, the Blueray disks are also available to some games.

    Wikipedia ---  Blu-ray Disc (also known as Blu-ray or BD) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the standard DVD format. Its main uses are for storing high-definition video, PlayStation 3 games, and other data, with up to 25 GB per single layered, and 50 GB per dual layered disc. The disc has the same physical dimensions as standard DVDs and CDs

    Don't care about the Wiki reference just yes or a no is all i needed. Thanks for the answer though.

    Hmm i always thought Blue ray disks were smaller than DvD's or CD's. Guess i was wrong.
