Instead, HD DVD fans are given 29 deleted scenes running over a half hour. It’s not a worthy replacement. The rest of the extras are carry-overs, and still worth watching. A loaded commentary contains the majority of the cast, though the case only lists director Adam McKay and Farrell.
A promotional making of runs for 10 minutes and can be skipped. A Conversation with Ron Burgundy is a 10 minute interview with Ferrell in full character, as he is in almost all of these extras. His ESPN audition, interviews at the MTV Movie Awards, and a Reel Comedy skit are all included, and all are in-character pieces.
Eight minutes of bloopers provide additional comedy, and Special Report is a collection of alternate takes and improv. A music video has the cast singing “Afternoon Delight.” Finally, Commercial Break is two minutes of random behind-the-scenes footage. 
With the additional cost of the new format, not including the same features seems incredibly cheap on the studio's part. It’s even worse when these features are as much fun as Wake Up. An extra disc isn't that much to ask for.
