You can buy them from Moviezoo. "Kommende" means "comming" if you any question regarding the language please write me and I will translate.

They havn't announced any HD-DVD movies, and I think it's certain they they will be exclusive. Note that they also handle the distribution of the PS3.

Nordisk film is also a member of Blu-ray forum which is an official site promotin Blu-ray. The message on this site is very clear: "The studios has chosen a side"

Blu-ray is also clearly more visible here, and I think it's very important that we got Nordisk Film.

They also announced "Revolver" and all 5 releases will be out on November 20th. A further plus is that they are around $5 cheaper than warner titles (though still way more expensive here than in the US)

Yes, and Kim W. Beich, Acquisitons & DVD Manager at Nordisk Film also says that it is because Blu-ray is technology superior.

Exklusivt för Blu-ray?
Nordisk Film låter genom Kim W. Beich, Acquisitons & DVD Manager, hälsa att man har ett samarbete med Sony i förlängningen av deras tidigare samarbete vad gäller försäljningen av deras spelkonsoll PlayStation 3. De anser att Blu-ray är det tekniskt bästa formatet men de har inte hystat ut HD DVD ännu - det är ingen omöjlighet att det kommer släppas HD DVD-titlar framöver.

These are the titles that will be released on November 20 in Sweden:

- The Hitcher (before the DVD-release in Sweden)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Revolver
- Hannibal Rising
- Children of Men
