Yeah, Warner got something, like more guaranteed revenue sooner by picking the format that was already making them more money.
Also (unrelated), I like how the petition says that it's trying to show that the "consumer hasn't 'clearly' chosen Blu-Ray" or some such (emphasis mine). I find that funny, since media sales have consistently been in favor of Blu-Ray in basically every market where this war existed for all of last year. I guess they forgot that in business, consumers' money talks, not digital "signatures" on a web page. (which I guess you said near the end of your comment)
