So you want to petition Warner and let them know you still want HD DVD.........and you've got 12,000 signatures..................really? What are you guys thinking?!! How many HD DVD players were sold? 750,000......1,000,000? Doesn't matter the number, if it were 1,000,000 and I'm a Warner Exec, I would EXPECT 1,000,000 names on the petition and not one less. Not new news! OF COURSE everyone that has an HD-DVD player wants to see content continue from all possible sources. No mind-reading required there. But this was never about wondering which format the Consumer wanted. It's all about making a return on the investment already sunk. Clearly, John Q. Public was conflicted, sitting on the sidelines waiting for a winner, while neither side was capitalizing on their investment. The only way to win (make any ROI) was to ensure a winner. So Sony wrote the big check, and now they are the winner. End of game. The only thing sillier than the Warner petition was the guy who wanted to petition Toshiba - to kill the format. Believe me, I was the one in the HD-DVD Promotion Group's booth before CES opened, calibrating 22 Toshiba monitors. Those who stayed for the party had faces longer than a Lindsay Lohan rap sheet. Trust me, they heard the bells toll. If you must petition somebody, petition Sony to give all those disgruntled a $100 trade-in on a Blu-Ray player, since they put you in this box. If you bought an XA2, hang on to it as a decent upconverting NTSC player. Otherwise, stack your orphans in the closet, next to the D-VHS player, the Sony Elcaset and the Quadraphonic sound decoder. Petition for Consumer Justice...a quaint idea, but very, very naive.
