Just curious

The movie on DVD is generally the same version (theatrical, extended, or director's cut) as on the BD and in the bundle, though the packaging varies.
As with CDs, you can do whatever you want with the package.
The street pricing generally runs $15 for DVD, $20 for the BD release, and $25 for the bundle.
A common reason to buy the bundle to watch the BD in the living room, the DVD in the minivan or camper, and the Ultraviolet on a PC/tablet/smartphone. BD players are now cheap but there aren't many cheap portable BD players. Plus, older cars only have DVD playback.
The movie studios seem to be doing alright with their triple release model.
