PARAMOUNT WAKE UP AND SWITCH BACK TO BLU-RAY. BLU-RAY WILL WIN AND DESTROY HD-DVD. I will never buy or see another movie by paramount until they swicth back to blu-ray. Money Hungry Basterds. BLU-RAY ALL THE WAY. Thanks For Listening.

Isn't life funny? Here, you are a welcome new member with a hero attitude. At AVS, you would be a troll.

Beauty is in the eye of the blu-holder!

I let him know that to me it doesn't seem like he's sabotaging his own movie, but Paramount did, and if anything he's promoting it.
Anyhoo, normally this is a pretty cool guy, but I had to call him out on this.

Hmmm, I have seen this before. It's called the "He tell me" phenomenon.

I'm tired of all this Michael Bay crap. All he does is talk, talk, talk. He sitting in the middle of HD DVD and Blu-ray and it seems like he's just trying to stir $h!t up. If he's physically going to do nothing about it, and decides to make transformers 2 regardless if its on HD DVD, then F^*k'm! He just wants the attention and chaos and you people are giving it to him. GOOD JOB!

please please. those people are usually kids right out of highschool or going into college. they're too smart to say that. he's probably the 40 year old parking lot security guard working at north county fair a few years ago who tried to have my car towed because he said I was encoaching on another space. a**hole.

Paramounts contract is up in 12 months, he's just heaping on the pressure.

He really needs to voice his displeasure come next Dec/Jan

scook · 12-06-2007, 02:56 PM

This is just stupid no one payed Bay he knows quality and thats what he wants consumers to know. He basically is just stating facts and saying to the general public: "OPEN UP YOUR EYES, there is NO competition, Blu ray is the dominant format" we understand it but the average joe does'nt and HD Fanboys will deny til they die.

Thank you Michael Bay and you are gaining more supporters every day.

Sorry man, didn't mean to be hard on ya or anything. Just wish all news worthy stuff came from good sources that's all.

Hey man... my supermarket bag boy swears he saw a 2-headed lady give birth to an Alien.

And I believe him.

tru2blu707 · 12-06-2007, 06:56 PM

if sony is paying off bay to be blu supporter than microsoft is paying toshiba to be hd dvd supporter...check this quote out

Bill Hunt of Digital Bits explained to InternetNews that Toshiba was ready to drop HD-DVD and join Blu-ray in 2005 until an unnamed company, which Hunt believes to be Microsoft, “pressured the company to stick with HD DVD since so much time and money had been invested in it.”

“Everything I’ve been told,” Hunt said, “is a lot of people in the HD DVD camp were ready to throw in the towel in late 2005 and something kept them from doing it. Microsoft seems to be the company that is running around crowing the loudest about HD DVD.”

I'm glad someone else got that subtle dig at dud.

Some of these people sound "special". "Special" as in drools alot. Sounds if your friend wants to feel like he is "in the know" about these things. Just pat him on the head and tell him "of course it's true"

Well, to be honest, I've never seen him outside of work. I'm sure he does drool alot when he's at home watching movies in 1080i and DVD audio.
