Excerpt from the article:

Finalized street dates have been trickling out for new releases, as major releases have been delayed due to quality concern issues. Batman Begins should street before fourth quarter on HD DVD, though Warner had originally expected it earlier this spring. A number of studios, including Fox and Buena Vista Home Entertainment, have yet to announce initial Blu-ray releases.

“Both retailers and studios are taking a wait-and-see approach, which is weird,” Saunt said. “I would think that the studios would be ramming this stuff down our throats. I’m surprised they are not pushing Blu-ray or HD DVD harder.”
