Thousands Sign Petition to Save HD DVD
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, Corporate Shakeups, Home Entertainment, Technology
Impassioned high-definitionites are still fighting to save their precious HD DVD with an online petition. Beginning January 5, the outcry had hoped to urge Warner Home Entertainment to reconsider its recent decision to go Blu-ray, after long-time indecisiveness regarding the format war.
Petitioners also hope the two remaining studios, Paramount and Universal, will see that HD DVD has many supporters and shouldn’t be relegated to history along with Betamax.
Many people have left comments vilifying Warner for allegedly choosing money over consumer choice. Some even swore to never buy another Warner-related film. To be sure, the decision dealt a mighty blow to HD DVD owners; it is clear they feel passionately.
As of this writing, the petition had topped nearly 14,000—not bad considering its short existence—though one wonders what it would take to convince a monolithic conglomerate like Warner.
If you want to do your part to keep HD DVD alive, or if you simply like the competition, sign the petition. Or if you’re ready for the format war to end— eschewing consumer choice and embracing monopoly—you can always sign the Let HD DVD Die Petition.

you mean to tell me anyone signed it?? i dont understand, are you people crazy?? its like mounds over almond joy!!! mounds is lacking the nuts, why want something that is far less superior, you people need to read up on technology and history, betamax is still being used in movie studios today, is you morons that went with VHS that runied it for everybody else, betamax was far superior, just like now, blu-ray is far better, why go with anything else, weirdos, and guess what, if your name is on a petition more that once, that petetion by law is null and void, nice you runied it again!!! losers!!!

Doesn’t matter what Hd-dvd loyal fans do, hd-dvd is going to be a quick dead. Do you think a couple hundard thousands web clicks is going to move studios when blu-ray is in command lead in both hardware and software sales? Companies are operated based on $$$$. If every ha-dvd fans go out and start buying like 20 hd-dvd players and at least 100 hd-dvd movies for every month for at least the next 12 months, may be those companies might reconsider hd-dvd format.
