Two of the largest film companies in Sweden have announced their intentions to support Blu-ray exclusively. Following the Warner Brother's announcement, Swedish film companies SF and Scanbox have announced that they are scrapping all plans to release films on HD DVD, and will release exclusively on the Blu-ray format. Scanbox is expected to release their first HD titles in April.
One of the first high definition titles from SF may be 'Arn: The Temple Knight', which is the most expensive film ever produced in Scandinavia. No word on which titles Scanbox have chosen to be their first HD releases.
Future is BLu
its going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. the only way to make it better is to cut losses and move on
is hoping that the majority of the DVD fanbase that haven't migrated will somehow pick HD-DVD over blu because its cheaper. Their plans however are falling apart daily. When people migrate there might not be any more vendors selling HD-DVD. Content in the end is key. Whats the point of buying a HD-DVD player when you cannot watch 70% of avliable movies

Japan and most of Europe are all no contest for Blu Ray. Asia has it's own disc. HDDVD's only slight market is US. There isn't any chance.
