There was only one of these left, so I can only speak to the one I got, but it was Dragon's Maze, Gatecrash, Theros.
The packs in mine were RTR, DGM, and M14.
Generally, these things just have packs that the distributor hasn't sold. Core sets and Standard sets are what you'll see the most, but seeing packs from three or four years ago isn't too uncommon. Most of these at my local Target have DKA in them...
I like this. Sure, I would only buy it if I wanted to buy three boosters anyway (for drafting I guess), but getting a halfway decent, good-looking foil card isn't shabby? She's only fringe playable, but she's cool and she's free.
But I've never ever seen a Booster Three Pack like that before, is that a new thing or a US thing...?
I'm assuming it is a US uber-retailer thing only. Our international friends don't seem to know about these repacks. I've only seen them at stores like Wal-mart and Target.
I only ever buy these if all three packs inside are non-core set, which means I'm that guy rummaging to find any on the shelf that fit the bill. Last year, my wife found three of these for me that had packs of Fallen Empires in them (she knew to look at the sides of the blister pack to see which packs were inside and recognized the old look of the pack even though she doesn't play - I love my wife), so you never know what you might get.
On a different but related note, recently, I have seen a different kind of repack in the big box stores as well - two boosters of the same set put into a wide blister pack without any kind of promo and sold for $10.99. When I first saw them, it was double Innistrad (yeah I bought 10+ of those) and currently in my local Wal-Mart it is double Dark Ascension.

Usually you have to scope out the side of the blister to see what is included and often at least one of the packs will be a core set pack.
