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.

As much as I don't support Blu Ray, Iunderstand why a production company would... butwhy wouldn't they then also support HD DVD? You can get double the sales, and make morehappier consumers. I feel that many productioncompanies are on the fence, with the statement of"we're waiting for consumers to make thedecision". Well, take a look. HD DVD is amore than capable opponent to Blu Ray already...and at the moment, HD DVD has support of only 4major studios, where Blu Ray has all the others. So, if they are essentially TIED right now lookingat this information, it's obvious that HD DVDwould pull far ahead if it had the same movieselections as Blu Ray has right now.
Support HD DVD, and truly allow us consumersto show you what format we recommend.
NOTE: I have placed this same view point on both the Disney and Fox petitions, asking them to join HD DVD supporters. We all deserve the equal choices that Blu Ray is getting, and given the capability to truly show the consumer base of the HD DVD format.
Show some common sense and support HD DVD! At the very least you're just gonna get a bigger market share by supporting both formats, and that only means more money, and thats what its about at the end of the day really. Give us consumers the right choice.
Give me ronin on HDDVD or give me death! I will never purchase blue ray movie title or player and will download the movies i want over the internet if it comes to that, before i bow down to sony's trying to bully us all into purchasing an inferior product and being able to control what content we receive. And yes i like porn so f#@k you sony!
some genral public all this time on are only getting used to standard dvd,genral public knows what hd stands for..therefore it dosednt take a genius to understand that hd dvd is the new upcoming thing....blu ray..what the hell is that to most people? sounds like some tanning device.
get it sorted why the hell confuse people who are waiting to part with cash?
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.
Sony has never played friendly when it comes to pricing. I would be really afraid of them if they ever owned exclusive rights to a format as prices would go through the roof
I own a xbox hd dvd player and currently around 10 hd dvds and counting. I would purchase MGM titles on HD DVDs.
"While i understand that you initially decided to support Bluray exclusively, the situation today is significantly different than promised a year ago.
HD DVD has successfully launched to market, but i believe that Bluray still has serious technical issues to overcome which will impede its success."
To MGM please re-think your position on thismatter and start releasing you film catalog ontoHD DVD.
Cheaper hardware is coming outmeaning even more costumers will be out therebuying software.
Blu-Ray is too expensiveand not In anyway better. Blu-Ray's 50gb discis meaningless since you use mpe2 and pcm which isthe reason you have to have more space on thedisc.
HD DVD uses VC1 and TrueHD audio andhads been proven to be better!
If you donot support the format of mine and a lot of otherschoice then for me I will never buy into Blu-Rayand will wait..
I will not shell outanymore money especially for another format.
This IS just a horrible way to treat customersso please reconsider.
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:
www.hdnowonline.com
-- PLEASE sign only the petition which is linked linked from that page --
THANK YOU!
Like I did on the FOX petition, I will boycott any products released by your studio (DVD or Theater) until your release your movies on HD DVD.
If enough people follow my example, the message will go through.
I would like MGM to support HD DVD! I own owver 250 DVD's and just over 10 HD DVD's right now. I would like to own some HD DVD MGM Movies also. I could care less about Blu-Ray.
Please give the consumer a choice in this battle. The cost of Blue-Ray is unfounded. I am dissapointed in the promises of Sony and have adopted HD. Please give me the option of viewing 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 MGM, support HD-DVD. HD-DVD pkayers are sekking way more then Blu Ray players and will continue to do so because we fell that HD-DVD is the real next gen media disk. I love james bond and will purchase it if you support HD-DVD . So please oh please support it.
Keep in mind that I will never purchase a MGM film if you don't release on HD-DVD. There is simply too much consumer support for this particular format.
