Blu-ray in Sweden goes for KO

Sony has just struck a deal with videotoppen for video rentals, totaling 1 000 stores across Sweden, videotoppen currently supports dvd only but will from now on also boost blu-ray in it´s stores thus having both standard definition and high definition movies, aparently spiderman 3 will be one of the first hd movies to hit videotoppens national stores.

Great stuff for blu-ray of course, but how about the hd-dvd camp? Well the situation in Sweden isnt directly top notch, blu-ray as of now sports 87% of the hd segment in Sweden, which of course leaves hd-dvd far behind, i guess the ps3 is more or less the reason for this early and big blu-ray dominance in Sweden, and rightfully so, it´s plain and simply put a great dvd and blu-ray player besides being a over the top game console.
