Well, you can scratch all that "special" Blu-ray nonsense now because the hardcores behind True Blue have figured a means to using regular, plain ol' BD-Rs ... nothing special here -- just get the dongle, burn your games, and play 'em.
Here is the full, long list of 3.60+ games reported working with True Blue:

But now the real question is: Is True Blue even necessary? With all these game/EBOOT patches coming out, like this and this, who needs a new jailbreak dongle? Don't get me wrong, True Blue could lead to bigger and better things, especially when/after it's reverse engineered ... plus patching games can get pretty dirty.
Updated True Blue Features
- Booting of all games designed for v3.6+ (up to v3.73) from BD-R discs and HDD
- Runs your existing games and new games up to v3.73 from HDD in conjunction with 'backup managers'
(NOTE: 'Backup Manager' are not supplied with the dongle, end-user installs his choice of personal 'homebrew')
- Does not require the Power/Eject trick
- Custom v3.55 Dongle firmware behaves like OFW when 'True Blue' is not inserted
- Manufactured from highest grade components and Actel based
- Durable and high quality metal case design
- Tough and durable plastic packaging
- Further features to be added as they are developed
- On board 2 MBytes SPI flash
- Supports Fat and Slim consoles currently running any firmware up to v3.55
- And any PS3 which can be downgraded successfully from v3.6+ to v3.55
(NOTE: Requires other tools, 'True Blue' currently can't downgrade a Console)
- Supports all regions of consoles
- Supports all regions of v3.6+ games
- Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing
I asked myself the same question if True Blue is really still necessary, as EBOOT patches come out quite fast, although not for every game. So far there's the patches for
Battlefield 3 and
Uncharted 3, which gives me some time before I will need another one.

Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 are fully working for 3.55
game and patchs are available for them, and they are very easy to do it.
Battlefield 3 can be installed in internal and external HD with 3.55.... nice game!!
i didnt see uncharted yet, but the first "bug" of "journal" is now fixed. Works 100%

I'm currently playing
Uncharted 3, journal "bug" is fixed, just made a pause now to eat something, gonna continue in 2 minutes
I only had one freeze so far, beginning of chapter 3, but I reloaded, and then it worked. Hopefully there will be not too many freezes, best would be none at all.
