Blu-ray iTunes Digital Copies Now Redeemable in HD?

Just a heads up on Skyfall and many other digital copies I've downloaded in the past. Many times, the initial download or copy from disc (sometimes fake copy just for authentication) doesn't include iTunes Extras, but if you delete your digital copy and then redownload, you will get the Extras. This exact thing happened with Skyfall and many other movies that either didn't initially download Extras or that didn't even have Extras when first downloaded. In fact, I'd say it's rare when this doesn't work.
How are you redownloading? I usually delete the file from iTunes (and move to trash), then go into the purchased section of the store and redownload from there. This usually starts 2 downloads, the movie and Extras file. I'm in the US, by the way.
I stand corrected, I just wasn't familiar with how the "new" iTunes embeds them with the "Watch iTunes Extras" button.

Spielberg films are really on it - I believe Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Schindler's List, and anything else that has come out recently comes with an HD code and iTunes Extras.
The iTunes Extras mostly have content parity with the BluRays - I really wish other director's did this (not sure it is Spielberg doing this, but some force is)

My mistake - the iTunes purchase had all of the extras the BluRay had - that is what I meant in that case

From personal experience, WB never gave out digital copy codes redeemable in HD.
I would have to agree with emaja
