We may have the hardware but NO media to play

From CDRLabs.com:

"While the Blu-ray group might want you to think that their blue laser technology is the best one out there, Hollywood isn't so sure yet. According to an article at Forbes, Hollywood film studios are delaying their decision on the next DVD format until later this year.
The world's largest electronics makers are working closely with Hollywood's film studios to nail down the standards for the next DVD, but said on Tuesday it will be delayed until the end of the year.

The Blu-ray group of 13 electronics giants is proposing a new DVD technology that can store up to eight times as much information on a single disk. Hollywood is also being courted by Toshiba and NEC which have another technology. "

The studios are unlikely to support two competing technologies because they do not wish to publish DVDs in different formats.
The technology introduced by NEC and Toshiba also uses a blue laser. However, it is more similar to current DVD technology. In any case, its going to be interesting to see which one wins out in the end.
