DVD+R is more secure than DVD-R. Will there be such a thing as BD+R soon?

Is there any official web site to talk about Blu Ray's future?
 
We've already had a format war for the current generation of optical media. DVD-R and DVD+R (along with DVD-RAM) were all part of a format war that still hasn't ended, as DVD-R and DVD+R and DVD-RAM all have their own supporters in the industry.

If anyone releases a competing format to Blu-Ray, it probably won't be based on or adapted from the Blu-Ray specification, as the Blu-Ray technology and such have some patents and licensing restrictions placed on them. If there is a format war though, the competitor would be facing a far more unified industry, as Sony, Panasonic, and their like are all on the Blu-Ray bandwagon, whereas in the DVD format wars, they were all split into separate camps.

We might get competing formats, but they will probably not be blu-ray.

And if you want technical specs and future dev, go to the blu ray consortium site, it's probably the best place to get up to date information about the format.

sidenote: Don't know what you mean by DVD+R being more secure than DVD-R. The big technical differences between DVD+R and DVD-R are that DVD+R implements better methods of error detection/correction and better writing accuracy.
 
DVD-R and DVD+R were two competing formats from two different consortiums of company's that had a interest in each format. The Blu-Ray camp would have no interest in making a competing format for themselves, only improving the feature set in the future if possible.
