Well, they do a bundle with the manga for that one. I am curious how many they will sell.

Who knows how many. This way some can get a taste of the anime while buying the manga or viceversa. I'm not getting Bleach in manga form though, so it isn't something I'm going to be interested in for now.

Since the manga is strapped to it, it'll most likely show up at most of the bookstores and comic shops. I think that's what they are aiming with this release. Trying to expose the anime to the manga crowd and vise versa, since the video stores will most likely carry it as well.

I think its weird that there doing this so long after the original release of DVD 1. Are they gonna do this with each one?

I would say it will be rather unlikely for them to do this beyond the first volume. Viz did something like this for Death Note and Naruto OVA.

If this work for them it is a good thing. I suppose there is a reason for them to release this that late after...

Maybe perhaps they want to target new fans that maybe interested in both types of medias.

How long has it been since Vol.1 of the manga has been out? Or has it? I haven't been following the manga side, so I don't remember if it has already been released before.

But don't you think that those people probably already bought one of them or the two of them?
