> Blu ray is 25GB per side, so max 50GB for 2 layers

Are pressed Blu-Rays limited compared to writeable ones?

I have 100GB BDXL blanks (single-sided) I use as one of the archives for my family photos/videos.

Couldn't a film BluRay also be 100GB on a single side?

Plenty of movies have been released on BD100.

Very out of date list: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=294596

On a site that I am a member of there are nearly 1300 BD100 rips available.

Interesting. I was looking back at my BluRay collection (physical) the other day, looking for a UHD movie to test with, and in my memory, all BDs with UHD, but to my surprise, very few of them were actually UHD, with most just being HD (1080p). I doubt there's in in my collection that are BD100; could I even play them? Currently using a PS5 as my BD player, and PS4 and PS3 before that.

A PS5 can play UHD Blu-Ray, PS3 and PS4 (even the Pro) can’t.

UHD discs are fairly noticeable at a distance as they usually use black disc cases instead of blue. They’re somewhat niche (if Blu-ray wasn’t already niche) and often sell at a premium, so I suspect unless you’ve been seeking them out you won’t have them barring the odd multi format bundle.

A lot more practical than having to deal with physical media. I'd even pay them for it, to have that kind of premium access.

100GB discs won’t work on standard Blu-Ray players, the basic standard predates BDXL discs. Ultra HD 4K player can play them.
