Now this I like...

Just as I had suspected Michael Bay jumped the gun on his thoughts on Paramount's decision to go HD DVD exclusive and he has posted a new message that reads as follows:

Last night at dinner I was having dinner with three blu-ray owners, they were pissed about no Transformers Blu-ray and I drank the kool aid hook line and sinker. So at 1:30 in the morning I posted – nothing good ever comes out of early am posts mind you – I over reacted. I heard where Paramount is coming from and the future of HD and players that will be close to the $200 mark which is the magic number. I like what I heard.

As a director, I'm all about people seeing films in the best quality possible, and I saw and heard firsthand people upset about a corporate decision.

So today I saw 300 on HD, it rocks!

So I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!

We all pretty much knew he would be doing the sequel, and you gotta throw a little respect out there for the guy coming clean. However, since he is making waves with his comments I still wish he would just say something to the effect that the studios need to get together and scrap this format war and just come together with one technology.

I doubt that will ever happen, since the only reason to care about the consumer is when you care about how much money they are spending.
