"PS3 version could have contained the full experience right off the shelf, but it seems I'm going to have to spend more to get DLC that would have all fitted on the Blu-ray in the first place. FFS."
Do you really believe on that? Really? Why would they cut the content from the PS3 version too? Why wouldn't they make the game in 2 DVDs (which is not necessarily a bad thing)?
It's just an excuse to make more money.

Blame Microsoft, they dislike games being on multiple discs so its costs more if a dev decides to do that. They also have a clause about the amount of differences or quality they will allow on multiplat games as they release on disc so chances are they would get to release it on 360 if the PS3 version kept it all.

Its not that, its because they charge royalties per disc. The idea that multiplatform games had to be equal was introduced by Sony then copied by Microsoft. So moving forwards its unlikely that multiplatform games will use more than 6.8GB of space aside from slightly less compressed content on disc.

Maybe this is the beggining of a new era. An era where ambitious developers (OMG, where is Square of 1997/98?) will start to blame low capacity DVDs and suport blu-ray. Do you think Microsoft will launch a blu-ray drive? They lost hd format war (blu-ray X HD-Dvd) and so what? What they are waiting for? A Natal miracle?

Makes sense... Third parties, many of which are already having financial problems, are going to increase their development budgets so that they can fill Blu-Ray discs and in doing so exclude over half the existing HD console audience.
