Two biggest Studios/Distributors in Sweden go Blu!

[Swede]

According to swedish dvd/moviesite dvdforum.nu SF & Scanbox, the two major movie studios & distributors of pretty much all Hollywood movies in Sweden have decided to support blu-ray exclusively and scrap any previous hddvd plans

Their decision was of course based on Warner's decision to go blu only recently...

It may not exactly be front page news, but at least it's yet another brick in the wall.

Do they have any distribution rights for Universal and Paramount films?

Great News. This is obviously a very significant announcement.

With the rate retailers are dropping hd dud it can't last much longer. Hope rumour Best Buy drops 3rd week in March pans out. Could be the final nail in the coffin.

Combined with the Hi-Fi Klubben news, I think things are looking very bad for Toshiba in Scandinavia
