High-Def Digest: Over six thousand HD DVD supporters have signed an online petition urging Warner Home Entertainment to reconsider its decision to abandon the HD DVD format.
First posted on January 5th, the petition takes issue with Warner’s earlier press statements that the “consumer has clearly chosen Blu-ray,” pointing to the HD DVD format’s lower hardware prices and “better technological capabilities” as more consumer-friendly than its high-def rival.
Supporters hope that the petition will convince Warner to reverse its decision, and that it will help prove to HD DVD-backing studios Universal and Paramount that the format still has supporters.
