Maybe if you could actually read anything on the site without going into epileptic seizures, some of us would have taken the time to read it.

Words run on top of one another, everything is centered down the middle...so on and so forth. Please, just go away.

Thanks JJ, it is very hard to read anything on there. All I was saying is that I did post the petition on time. And I do think it is way to late this thing has been over for weeks now.

Ok I went there, where is it at??????

IB, it's not about the $, it's about Sony's desparate attempt for vengeance for Betamax, UMD, etc. and the connection they have with Hollywood. Blue-ray is inferior, even if slight, and Sony loses money on each PS3 sold. So it's not about the money, it's about their arrogant ego as a company. In fact, Hollywood is pretty angry with Sony for being a Japanese company, trying to take over THEIR business, especially when they bought Columbia Tri Star. That is why Paramount, etc. jumped to HD-DVD.

And I would assume you have reputable, on the record sources to back up those claims?

One thing for sure doesn't wash: why would nationality have anything to do with which hi def format they picked? Universal used to be owned by the French (IIRC) Albert and Harry Warner were born Polish (a third brother was born Candian) Lionsgate is a Canadian company William fox was born in Hungary. So tell me exactly why Paramount and Universal jumped onto the Toshiba (aka HD DVD) bandwagon...which, oh YEAH...is a Japanese company?

I vote that best quote of the week!

Ignore it all you want, but it proves you guys do not know when enough is enough.

Bottom line:

Quit your complaining, folks. It's O-V-E-R.

Pony up the dough and pay for a PS3. This thing is smokin' fast. Mine works great and it's virtually future-proof. I don't game on it at all...my 360 is for that. As a BD player it excels.

If you remember a movie called Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back. Recall the scene when Luke needs to get his X-wing fighter out of the swamp and Yoda tells him to use the force. Luke responds that it to big and that he can get it out. Yoda prods him on and talks about his size and that size matters not. Then Luke says he will try. Then Yoda says do or do not. Then Luke trys and fails because he he didn't believe that he could do it. Then Yoda uses the force to get the X-wing fighter out of the swamp and then Luke couldn't believe it. Seems that there are a lot of poster that are like Luke that can't believe that it can't be done at all. If it is done in the right way that it can be successful. Just a lot of naysayers.

You have systematically ignored each of my arguments. You disregard the fact hardware and software manufacturers have ABANDONED the format. You forget retailers are getting rid of their stock as fast as they can.

HD DVD as a viable hi def format is dead. There will be no releases after May, 2008. Universal has their last title coming out soon (Atonement). Paramount has canceled most of their releases. DreamWorks may or may not release Bee Movie. They have all pledged public support for Blu Ray. This isn't about an uphill battle. This is about knowing when your head has been cut off. The body is going to squirm just a bit until it grows cold.

Stop being the body.
