Paramount and Dreamworks Animation’s decision to go exclusively HD DVD and even up the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD war has pissed off Transformers director Michael Bay. There’s seriously urine all over the place. This is what he said in a post on his own forum:
I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For them to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks! They were progressive by having two formats.
And the kicker.
. No Transformers 2 for me!
Ouch. That’s rough. But he does have a point. Why lock out people who have Blu-ray? Oh, right, money. Because HD DVD paid quite a lot for the two studios’ exclusivity. [Shoot For the Edit]

Because Blu-Ray sucks donkeys balls.
I’m extremely happy about the decision to go HD-DVD.. But I am upset that Transformers 2 has been set back :(
Although I will be able to buy the Transformers movie and watch it on my 360 HD-DVD Drive :D

Michael may be back on to Transformers 2. He has updated the forum to say he wrote the original post at 1.30am after dinner with a bunch of friends who own blu ray players. Says he overeacted and he may have reconsidered (after seeing 300 on HD) and be back on again for Transformers 2.

Well its just the usual war of business at the expense of the consumers.
Hooray! if u have a HD DVD player.
Boohoo… if you have Blu-Ray.
I know Transformers would sell over twice as much copies if it was released in BOTH formats.
