Here's a question for everyone posting...
How can you comment on this story without forgetting the fact that all PC games used to fit onto one DVD, maximum! Even now, the maximum PC games take up is 2 DVD's (pretty much the same storage volume as a Double Layer DVD). Therefore, the question doesn't lie in the amount of storage, but in the capaibility and quality of each device's compression. In comparing, Bizarre has to compress their entire game. If any DVD-DL contained game is uncompressed, it wouldn't even fit onto a quad-layered BluRay Disc. Besides, you must evaluate not the volume of content that a game occupies, but the uncompressed volume!
Idiots keep on saying...this game uses 25GB, or this one 32GB...in reality, the XBox 360 games can do that, but Microsoft works its tail off in order to utilize DVD-DL and not require multi-disc games. The reason as to why Blue Dragon took up 2 discs was that its cut-scenes were uncompressed video...which takes up almost 8x more space! This is one reason why the Japanese companies were shying away from the XBox 360...the fact that uncompressed video would be incapable of fitting on the DVD-DL discs.
