Don't tell me that if Transformers came out on Blu Ray, that it would not have outsold HD-DVD like every other release. The movie 300 comes to mind 2:1 ratio. Transformers was a big hit in theaters and it usually relates to good home sales, if Paramount had stayed with Blu Ray they would have sold 3 times as many copies because they probably would have sold another 200,000 in blu ray. Even Michale Bay the director wanted his movie on blu ray cause he knows the blu ray market is twice as big and getting bigger. Gimme a break…one big HD-DVD is gonna change the format war to HD DVD?

Just download these movies from the net (amazon etc) and then, no worries!
