One high-profile member of the film community decided to make his feeling known about the decision to go HD DVD only. Michael Bay -- known for action blockbusters like "Bad Boys" and "The Rock" as well as critical disappointments like "Pearl Harbor" and "The Island" -- expressed outrage after hearing that "Transformers" would become an HD DVD exclusive title upon its release for high definition players.
"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. No Transformers 2 for me," exclaimed Bay on his official site.

Ah the Hypocrisy. Pearl Harbor only allowed on Blu-Ray. That's okay. Bad Boys and The Rock with Blu Ray only studios. That's okay. But HD DVD only release for Transformers? How terrible!

Notice how he wants the best format for his movies?
Clearly he doesn´t think HD-DVD is that format.

He said formats, meaning he wants it available in both formats.

Once things settle down and the initial shock has subsided, he'll be fine. :)

This was interesting yesterday when it was new information. You've been a member for two years and you don't know that new news is not new news if it's already been posted...how to find out if it's been posted? The search engine or god forbid scroll through the first and second page of the existing threads. This multiple threads on the same fricking topics is getting old in the last 24 hours....in both HD and BR forums
