Online petitions are usually pretty useless, certainly for these type of things that are mostly decided by big multi-nationals and not by the consumer. But it's still interesting to see if the HD DVD format is really 'people's choice':

9680 Total Signatures, Just like the way they count the BD sales.
That just shows there are more HD-DVD fans

Looks like the latest sales figures were a bit misleading. We'll have to wait and see what the player price-cuts yield for HD DVD.

I read somewhere that a lot of the signatures may be fake.

Personally, I am hoping for Xstream to become a reality and end this debate. Smile
