Because, while the title is the same, probably it is different... sometimes: - DVD has different cut
- DVD has different color grading
- DVD has different aspect ratio
- DVD has different sound mix
- DVD has more audio and/or sub tracks
- DVD has extras while BD has not, or less, or different
(it could be the same for HD-DVD, Laserdisc etc.)
Luckily I have retained all the DVD even when upgraded to BD, and very few times DVD had exactly the same content of the BD...

Good advice. I learned that the hard way after having to reacquire several older DVDs that had different colors or sound. In my naivety I assumed the BDs would be the same as the DVDs. Time has proven otherwise.

Luckily I was wise enough to not sell laserdiscs as well... now everyday I discover one title that I have on laserdisc with different color grading/audio mix/commentary/extra etc. not available on BD nor DVD...

It's a good point, especially when it comes to the audio.

If you love a movie, you should get both DVD and Blu Ray. Sometimes its even worth the cool main menu.

yes, definitely Laserdisc... there are still numerous titles that have the original theatrical color-grading/soundmix (especially mono) ONLY available on Laserdisc.
