Anthony I've seen more movies in Blu-ray then HD DVD! I am not a fan boy, unlike you, of either format. I watched TFE within a week of Blu-ray coming out. It was VERY noticeable that it just wasn't right, AS EVERYONE NOTICED! I've watched the original SD DVD version side-by-side the Blu-ray version and the SD DVD version looked better, the SD DVD version was playing on a Toshiba HDXA2. It took Sony how long to come out and say they screwed up? They still haven't admitted to screwing up MiniDisk.
I haven't seen Transformers at all so I'm not sure what it was. Did you read the USA Today article at all? Michael Bay says that the DVD could've been better not the HD DVD. He then went on to say that he's displeased with the format war because it's causing people to wait longer to adopt HD. If you'd like I could always find some Beta propaganda for us to "discuss".
Who says you can't put 61" plasmas up on cantilever mounts using toggle bolts? <---Thanks Ernie ;)
