Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater HD-DVD Petition

I stumbled across this HD-DVD petition to Warner today, SAVE HD-DVD , anyone know anything about this or if there's others? Do any of them have a chance to get to the right people or is the originator just venting??

I don't think that with all of the bogus signatures that anyone will take it seriously.

what? you mean that 'peter pan' and 'dub dublin' are not real?

Why dont we just start a petition to all the studios to drop HD DVD so we can get the stupid format war over with already and buy our Bluray players

The movie studios respond better to huge monetary payouts than signiture petitions.

That's an even better idea. We should create a big Trust Fund to swing markets our ways. I'm in for 2$.

No, seriously, this may have been a good idea earlier on. Have all the HD-DVD owners collect money to force an exclusivity deal for Warner and Fox! No idea if that would ever work, but I wonder if anyone has ever thing this though to see how it would/could work.

On a positive? note, I got my 5 free HD-DVD from the rebate yesterday...

Cool! When did you send it in? I'm still waiting for mine. I did get my bu-ray ones pretty quickly on the other hand...

Yeah, I got mine too, and they substituted one movie I already had, and one I didn't want, for the two that I most wanted. I'm not a happy camper.

I'll bet they sent you the two I wanted. FORK 'EM OVER!

(Whadaya say guys? Think that'll work? )

Hmmm, a petition to prolong the format dummy contest. I'm passing.

One of the formats needs to die soon and quietly. No doubt the competition has served to reduce prices, but the confusion still is a problem. Once a single format is identified, the manufacturers will drive further price reductions through competition and economies of scale.

If it's HD-DVD, so be it. Off with it's head!!!!

Just to be clear, I bought the $99 Walmart Toshiba HD-DVD special in November and have since procured 20 HD-DVDs. Matter of fact, Jack and I watched The Italian Job in my HT in mid-November. I also have the 5 DVDs on the way from the rebate, but it sounds like there may be a disappointment between what I order and what I get.

BTW - you can all personally thank me later. Given my luck over the years, my purchase of the HD-DVD stuff pretty much guarantees that BluRay will win the war.

On a more serious note, I really want to go after some DVDs in a HD format. I suspect I am not alone sitting on the fence until format is decided. It will be nice to see efforts concentrated and DVD prices also start to fall.
