Terrible article.
For one Microsoft didn't announce a deal with Netflix until after HD-DVD was dead. Bay may have been right about Blu-Ray being the superior format but his rant or comments are off key and have no facts. Microsoft has stated on a number of occasions that digital downloads were their focus even before HD-DVD was dead. That is why the HD-DVD drive was a external optional device and MS didn't add it to their console.
The article is old and the fact don't support Bay's theory.
