There were a ton of reasons (they thought) for combo packs on DVD/Blu-ray, primarily they honestly thought everyone would just switch over. The DVD copy was for portable viewing (since so few portable Blu-ray players are out there, that doesn't exist here), and those that want portable viewing will get that "transfer" feature thing which is disk-less.

They also stand to lose signifigant profits, as folks will likely just sell off or give away the DVD copy like so many already do with the DVD/Blu combo packs. They don't want to further reduce Blu-ray sales.

I just think they aren't planning on UHD supplanting Blu-ray, like they figured with Blu-ray/DVD - I just don't see the incentive for them to do so.
I agree. I think it's just going to be looked upon as a niche.
