Petition to save HDDVD

[Dave Ricketzz]

No optical disc player is worth $400+ to me.  I will let others pay the "early adopter tax" on this one.  Maybe someday, but not this someday.

No thanx. I want a single format to win. I'm old enough to remember
| Betamax/VHS war. BlueRay has won.

We all lost since neither side could co-operate.  In the mean time the 
proliferation of lower quality downloaded content appears to be 
entrenched.  It is possible that BR/hd-DVD pulled a Wordstar and 
wrestled themselves  down and out.

When Sony stuck with their memory stick format, I vowed never to buy 
another product from them, as they clearly did not learn their lesson 
from the Beta/VHS war.  Blue Ray has reinforced this view.
