As for the average consumer, Given that average PC hard drives are getting pretty big, but how would the average consumer know how to rip a Blu-Ray to their hard drives?

And when the next tech comes out, how would the average PC be able to keep up?

I mean, 4k files are pretty huge.

I agree that the average PC user such as myself, would not be practical or cost effective to RIP a 50g file into a hard drive. Even now BD-R is still quite expensive per disc. Also, I don't know anybody that has a program to properly RIP a full blu ray file into their HD yet.
