Sigh. A blu-ray disc holds 25 Gb of data. A dual layer holds 50 GB, and the PS3 can support up to 32 layers(confirmed by pioneer), right now only 4 layer discs exist for production. There is absolutely no way for it to use more then one disc on PS3, why do people keep thinking it will?

WOW!!!! I seriously did not know that! 32 layers? That is INSANE!!!!

I doubt the whole 5gigs was spent on the demo. If it was it was probably redundent dat as to ensure the demo worked flawlessly without hesitation. Most demos for disc based games take up a gig or so.

The 360 version will most definitely have multiple discs, there is no getting around that, but this demo does not "prove" it. Yet the question of severe quality compression on 360 vs. PS3 downgraded to suit 360 still stands(which is my greatest fear).

Square is developing the games seperately, they already said they are doing the PS3 version first, then the 360, there will be no quality lost for the PS3 version.

The fear comes from the quote that both versions are going to be identical.

^This

At first they say the game will be identical. Then they say the PS3 version will not be changed. This is a paradox, for they cannot be identical when the two systems are at two different levels of power. SE says they are using 100% of PS3's power(obviously an exageration) but this hints that they are trying to use the most of the system.
