Following the recent decision by Warner to drop HD DVD, several petitions have been set up to try to either save or kill the HD DVD format, going by this High-Def Digest report. The petition "Save HD DVD!" aims to convince Warner Brothers to reverse its decision and them that the consumer has not "clearly" chosen Blu-ray, despite Warner claiming their move is the best thing for the consumer. The description also mentions about some features HD DVD has had from the start, which Blu-ray drives have not had, such as PIP, web-enabled features and so on.
The other petition, "Let HD DVD Die" aims to get the remaining HD DVD supporters to switch over to start producing Blu-ray discs again to kill the HD DVD format and bring an end to the format war. This petition claims that defeat is the right way to go for the consumers since it has not won over consumers despite all the sales during the busy shopping season.
At this time of writing, the "Save HD-DVD!" petition has received over 11,200 total signatures and has been running since January 5th. The "Let HD DVD Die" petition has received over 3,400 total signatures, but it is unclear how long this one has been running for. According to High-Def Digest, this one has received the most signatures for the pro-Blu-ray petitions.
