Enough already with screwing consumers in this "war"...just release the dam movies, we'll buy them! I own well over 500 original DVD's but we get screwed over so much by companies that they wonder why people are downloading so much...we are re-living the beta vs vhs and if it continues, they'll come up with a "new" format that will replace both HD and blue ray. HINT: want to make money...stop screwing me over and I'll give you more...a satisfied customer comes back. Right now, my money is sleeping in the bank instead of being spent on HD DVDs...what do you say we get the economy going again?
Please allow us, the consumers the chance to pick our preference of which player to buy. I would love to own your titles on HD-DVD and by not offering your titles on HD-DVD you are segmenting your market and not maxing out your profit margin by not offering your movies on both formats. You are doing the consumers and shareholders a disservice by choosing one format over another so soon.
Sincerely.
Tamer Gouda
As much as I don't support Blu Ray, I understand why a production company would... but why wouldn't they then also support HD DVD? You can get double the sales, and make more happier consumers. I feel that many production companies are on the fence, with the statement of "we're waiting for consumers to make the decision". Well, take a look. HD DVD is a more than capable opponent to Blu Ray already... and at the moment, HD DVD has support of only 4 major studios, where Blu Ray has all the others. So, if they are essentially TIED right now looking at this information, it's obvious that HD DVD would pull far ahead if it had the same movie selections as Blu Ray has right now.
Support HD DVD, and truly allow us consumers to show you what format we recommend.
Please bring out your titles on HD-DVD as well or (better yet) follow WB's lead with hybrid HD-DVD/Blu Ray combo discs. I think this will be the best way to keep all customers happy. If you do this, I believe that all competition and problems will end.
I own a xbox hd dvd player and currently around 10 hd dvds and counting. I would purchase Lions Gate titles on HD DVDs.
"While iunderstand that you initially decided to supportBluray exclusively, the situation today issignificantly different than promised a yearago.
HD DVD has successfullylaunched to market, but i believe that Bluraystill has serious technical issues to overcomewhich will impede its success."
I have an HD DVD player, were you interested in letting me give you money for movies I've already bought from you on VHS and DVD. If so you might consider releasing movies on HD DVD. Thanks
I support all HD-DVD releases. Blu-Ray has yet to impress me with their lack of extras and special features. Not only to mention that HD-DVD discs are much more family friendly since Blu-Ray information resides much closer to the surface. With a majority of familys scratching their discs it seems like a strategic move by companies like yours to get consumers to keep buying discs. So your company is on the boycott list until further clarification on why you won't support HD-DVD. Let the consumers decide, not the manufacturers.

DEAR HD DVD SUPPORTERS - NOTE
The HD DVD Studio Petitions have all been CONSOLIDATED at:

-- PLEASE sign only the petition which is linked linked from that page --
THANK YOU!
Movies are not something that people can just buy again if the format changes. Exclusives only divide films fans and make collections harder to maintain, or impossible.
Please give the consumers a chance. Blue Ray has not lived up to its promise. I for one am very dissapointed. I have adopted HD and will be purchasing HD in the future. Please give me the option to view your films.
I own a HD-DVD I believe that it is a true consumer product. Blue-Ray, expensive and Sony will keep the cost up as long at they can thus discouraging the delivery of your movies to the market. As a studio surely you must see that you are going to pay a high royalty cost for production on Sony's blue ray platform. HD-DVD platform appears to be more stable and comes to you at a lower cost, with the necessary copy protection, thus increasing your profits. Simply economics.
Please Lionsgate support HD-DVD. There are millions of owners out there that own HD-DVD players that would love to watch Saw, Total Recal, Terminator and many many more on HD-DVD. So please support HD-DVD
I just purchased my HD DVD player, and there is a nice selection of movies. However with the added support of Lions Gate there would be many more movies. Lions Gate has great movies, please release your movies on HD DVD.
