uhmm.. I guess as a german you know the term "milchmädchen rechnung" right?

In a game there are certain elements which have to be on every single game disc (ofcourse not on pure video discs), if they can't be installed on the HDD, like the graphics engine, physics engine, certain textures and certain sounds and so on...
Combined with the fact, that 360 game discs usually only can use up to 7.8GB (the outer circles of the DVD are used for protection) the amount of "real" space gained through additional DVDs is considerably smaller than the theoretical 9GB a double-layer DVD could hold.

BTW ofcourse the data on BRs already is compressed although the compression-rate might not be as high as the one used to fit 360 games on a DVD, so although there is potential for further compression it's quite certainly not as high as many people seem to believe.
