The great format conspiracy: Microsoft want both HD DVD and Blu Ray to fail

December 6th, 2007

Director Michael Bay, the man behind Transformers, The Rock and Bad Boys, has accused Microsoft of some well planned sabotage of the video format market. On his official website he claims:

Microsoft wants both [HD DVD and Blu-ray] 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

They want confusion in the market until they perfect the digital downloads. Time will tell and you will see the truth. That is why Microsoft is handing out $100 million dollar checks to studios just [to] embrace the HD DVD and not the leading, and superior Blu Ray [sic]

A conspiracy theory regarding Microsoft’s plan for world domination? Bay may need to be reminded that this has been done many times before.
