3-4 360 DVDs costs more to produce then 1 Blu-Ray disc. This is the only issue. The more DVDs you use the more expensive it becomes. (I think I heard this mentioned somewhere by some Developer, sorry no source but it's sound thinking). So this would mean less profit for SquEnix or more expense for the customer.

I thought discs costed like 50 cent to produce, and BD cost a doller 50c. I don't this being any huge difference in pricing even if I am slightly wrong. Maybe like 16 dollar instead of 17 dollar profit for SE, but nothing really major (of course 1/17 is big, but not huge).

Not to sure of the figures myself but yeah it's not much but a difference. And whether or not it's only a dollar, it's still true. :P

Yes, M$ have probably already subsidised any loss they would have made releasing the game on the 360. And yes, games have to cost $60 or so no matter the amount of discs to compete.
