lol, just read the talking points. extremely sad how paramount has to be bribed (according to the New York Times article) so that they'll defect to one side and, its only 18 months at best.

Well in my humble OPINION is that this will just prolong the battle with HD-DVD for a few more months; we'll see how it ultimately ends. In the mean time, blu-ray still leads in sale values (I believe its by a 2:1 ratio?)-- I just bought 300 and Casino Royale yesterday, ace quality.

as sad as it is,at the end of the day,it's MONEY

and i doubt sony is completely clean themselves.
every company has it's fair share of underground dealings tongue.gif

Same here but unfortunately millions and millions of people thought Michael Bay is a genius now. And the movie is still a hit so the fact that it won't be on BD come Christmas, I think some people might just get themselves on the HD-DVD camp.

as much as i thought the movie was overhyped beyond belief,it saddens me that Bay has decided not to continue with the sequels because of this development..

other directors might make the sequels better,but they also might make it worst doh.gif

Its a big bonus for HD-DVD to get Transformers under their umbrella, whether you like the movie or not.

laugh.gif yup
the BO intake is proof enough that this movie will sell by the bucketloads

hmmm...out of sudden..so many people say that they dont really like transformers....
but I have to admit that I do like spiderman, because it is a fact, and will not lie to myself because it is not available in HD-DVD..and I always believe that those HD-DVD and BD will be co-exist for longer time than what we expected, and unlike few people, I will not jump to my chair and yell that one format will be dead just because of the number of studio support...

easy to check if they honestly believe so..
check out the movie section,transformers thread, and snuff out the bluray fanboys tongue.gif
(if they loved the movie in that thread,BR fanboy.if they didnt like the movie in that thread,then they really dont fancy the movie laugh.gif )

Whatever it is, if the BD fanboys are pissed. They have every right to feel so. What's wrong with that? So the hddvd fanboys can all now act tough just boz they have more exclusives now eh? I can't understand why must there be such a loyalist to either formats at this early stage where there's still an unclear winner on the format wars. rclxub.gif

laugh.gif why is there even loyalty in the first place?
i dont see the benefit in giving everything to one company rclxub.gif
