FUD by Sony and the Beta Ray camp.
HD-DVD is doing alot better than people are led to think. There are over
1 million dedicated players out there and growing daily.

Not true (at least the "growing daily" part).

From NPD number of standalone units:

The January Week 2 unit sales data for each format looked AFTER the Warner
announcement

Blu-ray Disc - 21,770 units
HD-DVD - 1,758 units

Nobody is buying a format that has lost the war (which makes logical
sense).

I'd pick up some fire sale HD-DVDs if there were any worth buying. as it
stands, I have Dune, Batman Begins, and King Kong (which came with my
player), but don't see much else worth owning from the HD-DVD camp. Matrix
sure, but that'll be on Blu-Ray soon, no?

If you support HD-DVD and or multiple formats in the future consider signing
this petition.
Almost 12,000 signatures and word is that WB and other studios have noticed
and it watching closely..and may reverse it's stance.
Consumer backlash is very strong in support of HD-DVD.
Over 1 million dedicated players sold so far is not a failure.

Whilst I agree that its a shame for the ppl that have HD-DVD players
they took a chance jumping on the bandwagon this early in the lifecycle.
Consumers don't want format wars. If these companies would think about
that before starting their stupid ****ing contests the consumer
marketplace would be much better.

Now that Best Buy and Netflix have flushed HD-DVD I'm seriously ****ed. I'm
stuck with the X-Box 360 HD-DVD player which will be worthless in another
couple months. I sincerely hope Microsoft, which has been getting bent over
lately and gotten basically everything wrong decides to offer a comparable
Blu-Ray player at a discount for those of us who were duped into buying this
solid gold paperweight.

$200 for something I used, albeit infrequently, over the past year or so, is
hardly worth crying over. if you bought a collection of HD-DVDs, my
apologies, but they'll still play fine...until your 360 RRoDs...

I own an 360, and consoles for GAMES. Why should I sign a petition
when it doesn't relate to my interest in GAMES? HD-DVD is the
inferior technical format (Blu-Ray specs spelled out or not), it is.
Why should I support it, "Just to show Sony who is boss"? I didn't
even take advantage of the 5 BluRay movie specials and only own 5th
Element (I like the movie, so sue me), as a demo.

This high-def movie format has invaded the videogame newsgroups,
totally diverting attention away from games, and playing them. It is
pathetic, all these partisan hacks who whine about this format and
that, so that you get a bit more clearer resolution than upscaling
produces.

Enough. Enough. Enough. Go away, both your camps, and take Blig with
you!
