Michael Bay se fait encore remarquer sur son site. Cette fois-ci, ce n'est pas par le blog, mais par le forum. L'intervention a été reprise par Engadget, Écrans.fr et iGénération... et j'imagine plein d'autres sites. Je vous laisse juger de la réponse à un internaute pas content que Transformers sorte en exclu HD-DVD :

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.

Plus loin dans la discussion :

Does anyone out here want to challenge what I feel suits my films better in terms of look. I see every frame of my films over a hundred times before it is ever released. I know the lighting conditions I shot it and the result on the DI. I know the range. I know what the final product should look like - Blu Ray suits my films better. But that said - I don't a care about this format war because I have both formats in my screening room - I'm just filling you in on what people deep in the film industry feel ultimately is going on - Transformers looks great even in DVD!!

Michael, you have my sword ... bon par contre faudra m'expliquer pourquoi y a autant de pubs pour Microsoft dans The Island (MSN Search et X-Box). Alors Michael Bay, rancunier ou vendu ? Ça se discute, même si lui clame le contraire ;o)

There is no selling out - !!!! (voir message original sur le forum de Bay)
