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.

On topic: good news for blu-ray, it continues to gather strong support worldwide.

 These aren't your fathers puns...

I am really beginning to wonder how long until the end.  Do you think HD-DVD will continue as a data format, they are good PC disc drives. 

I've yet to see an ad for an HD movie in Sweden. But maybe things will change.
