Instead of re-re-releasing the same show / movie on another disc (i.e. 
three slightly different DVD releases), it would be better for the fans 
to release just the bonus content on a stand-alone discs.

I've got the Star Wars movies on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K ... but I 
have not got every single release in those formats. DVD and Blu-ray 
must have about a dozen releases between them in various single and box 
set versions, not to mention the originals, and the Special Edition and 
Super Special Edition tweaked versions.

Dorling Kindersley does the same thing. They re-re-release the same 
book with a couple of extra added pages, expecting fans to buy yet 
another copy.  :-(
