Michael Bay singlehandedly wins the HD format war

[wraggster]

Finally, Michael Bay has stepped down from Cheese Mountain to pontificate on the finer points of the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray war. Speaking from the inner-sanctum of his lair -- located equidistant from the Church of Scientology and a gigantic cotton candy stand -- Mr. Bay reminds us that, "Blu-ray's better, and I told everyone," then goes on to further prop himself by adding, "I was very vocal about it. I knew HD [DVD] was not going to make it." We're glad that Bay can sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that the mere "quality" of the formats decided the winner of this battle, rather than massive business partnerships fueled by the desire for marketshare. He wrapped up his message (actually given at an awards ceremony held by the Visual Effects Society) by saying, "Am I thrilled? It really wasn't my fight, but remember what I said in the press? I was kind of saying HD [DVD]'s going to lose... No one believed me." He then slammed a trophy he was receiving to the floor, pointed to the packed room, and yelled, "In your face, HD DVD!"

Wow, I think he is taking this war a little too seriously...

Sure I have rooted for Blu-Ray and have wanted HD-DVD to die, but I wouldn't act like that outside the protection of my computer screen and keyboard

What a tit

Is there such a thing as an HD-DVD-R/RW?

If he'd put his effort into learning how to tell a story rather than fighting the HD-DVD market he'd actually probably make a good movie for a change.
