How much would 2-3 dual-later BDs cost?
The issue isn’t the technical possibility, but whether people are willing to pay the premium for installation media.
To the manufacturer? Pennies. It’s made of the same stuff DVDs are. They’re only expensive to the consumer because the entire industry hates the idea of them.
Of course I would pay an extra few dollars tohave media and guarantee a game will install and run even if the internet goes away.
This isn't about convienence for the users, its about killing the secondary market
