Basic physics behind that...has to do with the amplitude and frequency of the light...the more blue/purple the light of the laser, the more confined the beam can be...and hence the more data can be stored in the same amount of space.

I heard Blue ray disc players are already out in japan for around $5000, and Playstation3 will be using this format.

The more towards the blue spectrum, the higher the frequency and therefore the lower the wavelength.

and of course the shorter the wavelength the closer the pits/flats on the CD surface can be to each other, resulting in greater capacity.
I also heard that the PS3 will use this technology, its been around for awhile.
