When Michael Bay found out that Transformers went HD-DVD exclusive, he went ape and said he might not do the sequel.  A few weeks later, he retracted that, but still, you know he likes Blueray more than HD-DVD.  This week, he’s blaming MS for all of confusion.  For once, I actually agree with him, and see that MS definitely had a hand in the new exclusives to HD-DVD.  Here’s what Michael has to say.

 What you don’t understand is corporate politics. Microsoft wants both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads. That is the dirty secret no one is talking about. That is why Microsoft is handing out $100 million dollar checks to studios just embrace the HD DVD and not the leading, and superior Blu Ray. They want confusion in the market until they perfect the digital downloads. Time will tell and you will see the truth.
