is there a reason people on the internet constantly misspell the words "sense" and "loser"?

I like your determination, hddvdfan07, but give it up. It's O-V-E-R.

I just wanted to say that I found the thread I thought was deleted. he he, SORRY!

Just want to make sure I understand your plan.

Toshiba, a company that has taken a huge charge and shut down its lines, should reopen its lines and sell its hardware (at a profit I presume, so for several hundreds more than it last listed)? Who is going to release content on this format? Given that only two studios were producing content for it when it was trying to be a competitor, who will do so now?

Given that Wal*Mart, Best Buy, and Circuit City, will not sell it, what outlets will they use?

I commend the author for giving it the old college try, hell even I registered in the forums, however, may I make a few simple suggestions?

Change the color of the site to HD-DVD red
Spell Check - I found a lot of errors in spelling.

Contact the media, send them links to the site, explain what you are trying to do professionally and with enough excitement it makes them want to look into it.

The most successful things in the world are things marketed properly, conveying a clear message, and done in a professional manner.

I did so much Internet promotion for my first film Deadlands, that one the day of its release its IMDB rank went up 3000%. I was listed above films like The Breakfast Club, Back tot he future and more, just from internet hype alone.

If you do it right and keep it steady you can gain the momentum to properly bring the news to masses and maybe make a difference.

The goal of the site is to get Toshiba to reconsider thier decision and to get support for HD DVD format.

So let me get this right. The primary backers of HD DVD-Toshiba, Universal, Paramount/DreamWorks and Warner (through May)-have all said they will release in Blu Ray. Warner was chastised for going blu back in January after it said in 2007 they would only "look" into their support. So, when Warner announces BD backing, they're the anti-christ, but when you want Toshiba and their HD DVD partners to do the same, it's okay?

Oy vey.

Check the past threads, I tryed an on line petition similar to this and it did not work. This is a pure waste of time. Remember folks, it is all about the almighty $.

If you took the time to read what's at the site then you would of found that is mentioned at the site.
