Old news? Not to me.

From USA Today......(Chopped up!)

....Transformers is the first major film to arrive on HD DVD ($40) since partners Paramount and DreamWorks joined that side of the high-definition video disc format war. Universal also makes its films available exclusively on HD DVD. Sony, Disney and Fox support rival Blu-ray Disc, while Warner releases on both formats.

Bay caused a brouhaha on his blog (michaelbay.com) by voicing his displeasure that Transformers would not be available on Blu-ray and that he was rethinking his plan to direct a sequel. The next day he backpedaled, but he is still upset about the format war.

"It's short-sighted and it has delayed consumers' moving to HD (home video)," he says. "As a director, my critical eye is that Blu-ray is where my money is. Consumers are smart, and they are going to wait it out."
The HD DVD version also set a new mark. Its 190,000 copies sold is the best debut of any high-def disc.

Bay expects the cast to return for Transformers 2, which is targeted for June 25, 2009. The first film's take recently surpassed $700 million worldwide, and it has reached No. 18 on the all-time U.S. box office chart and No. 28 internationally.

"It just caught on in our culture, and I am excited to do the second one," he says. "There are so many different and innovative ways you could have fun with this movie."......

Yeah, he said that (or rather, that article was posted) the day after the DVDs & HDDVDs for transformers went on sale.

Proved many of our points that it wasnt HIM suddenly changing his mind and supporting HDDVD. Para simply slapped his hand and said 'honor the contract'.

Those ruffians at HD-DVD forced Bay to do their dirty HD_DVD bidding against his will!!

Toshiba should be investigated by the FCC and Bay should hire an ACLU attorney so that we can get Transformers on BlueRay this holiday.
