Petition to keep HD DVD alive appears online
Sure enough, an online petition has appeared that HD DVD supporters can rally around. Click on through to read (and sign, if that's your persuasion) the petition, which puts check marks in the "cheaper" and "better tech specs" columns for HD DVD. With recent talk about Universal and Paramount going blu, this feels seriously desperate. When we checked, 2,151 signatures were on the petition. That's 2,151 people who should both: a) own the format and b) feel that it's in danger of being abandoned by Warner, Universal and Paramount. Sorry guys, but it looks like the HD DVD group is busy talking behind closed doors.
