So, how many BD's could you rip to 8 TB? How many GB fit on a BD?

Full images for a single layer BD is 25 gigs.

So 320 BD's.

Most releases are in the 9gb range, I like doing 15 so call it 500

You'd have to get an IR receiver for the PS3, too, as it's not equipped with one.

Oh jeez... Why do they have to make life so difficult?

Just a brief update, I just got a Harmony 880 and have found that people are buying the Nyko Blu-Wave remote so they can use the USB IR receiver that comes with it for their universal remotes. $15 on Amazon right now.
