Major Dutch music and video shop indentifies Blu-ray as HD format of the future

Great news from the Netherlands for Blu-ray:

One of the major Dutch music and videoshop called Free Record Shops announced that they see Blu-ray as the High Definition format of the future. They emphasized that Blu-ray offers the ultimate high definition video- and audio experience. Free Record Shops Netherlands explicitly supports this new format as the successor of the DVD and will give it a more prominent place in its stores.

Hans Breukhoven, CEO of Free Record Shop Holding says that this choice fits in their strategy concerning new developments: "More and more consumers own a high definition TV. Blu-ray offers the opportunity to watch movies in the highest possibile high definition quality. Sales results also show that the major part of sold high definition discs are Blu-ray. Based on the quality, the support from industry and the current sales results, we believe that Blu-ray is the high definition format of the future".

I already noticed several weeks ago that these shops increased the amount of Blu-ray disc space in the shops and decreased HD-DVD space. With this news, it seems that Blu-ray will even get more attention in these shops.

Great news. This company is in Belgium, too, isn't it?

I'd like to see Blu take up the "foreign film" markets. Good news, good news
