On my rig, 2.1 works a tiny bit better. Before when a disc would go from the company logo (lets say Universals planet logo with music) and then loading the movie the HDMI would lose lock and the projector would report "no signal" then the screen would turn purple and red and then blue and then Id get the regular picture.

With 2.1 these things are banished and the projector seems to keep a lock the whole way through.

The rig is XA1->HDMI->Crystalio CII VP->HDMI out->DVI IN on runco vx-55 projector.

As to extras- Im with Mark in that I normally view them as- well "extra" and Im a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy. I don't usually want them, but I do want these extras. Theres only one way to do it- get the DVD as well- making you buy it twice. Theres your answer. It was probably just not worth their effort to put another disc in the HD DVD packaging or some other economic reason.
